Suffering from Hep B - Can I work as a pharmacist in Saudi Arabia??

Hi Abdul,

You mention both Dubai and Saudi Arabia in your question. Obviously, as these are two different countries, different rules apply in each case.

The issue of Hep B is a common question amongst expats moving to Dubai and you might find the conversations on previous threads quite useful. You can see discussions on Hep B and work permits for Dubai here, here and here. 

Both in Saudi Arabia and Dubai there are restrictions on peope with certain medical conditions taking up employment in certain jobs. However, I am afraid there are no concrete rules. In each case, people have different experiences.

My advice would be to contact the immigration authorities or speak to a local immgration lawyer to find out about the latest updates on medical restrictions to work permits.

Good luck

thank you
