Contains a medical screening for communicable diseases such as hepatitis, HIV, leprosy, syphilis and tuberculosis to help and protect the health and well being of the community to raise up the quality of life. The screenings contains:

  • a physical assessment by a doctor
  • a simple blood test
  • a chest x-ray

If the test come out positive to HIV or tuberculosis you will be considered medically unfit and therefore you will not be able to obtain a residency visa. It is required to take the medical examination as an expat to be certified as medically fir and free of easily spreading diseases to ensure the United Arab Emirates health.
