Hi Muhammad,

This is a common concern for those moving to Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

There is a fairly long thread on the issue here. So I suggest maybe having a read of that.

You will be required to be tested for HIV, Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B and Tetnus prior to coming to the UAE if you plan on working.

Most of the time restrictions for Hep B sufferers are limited to the medical profession or industries where you would be coming into contact with food. I would also advise you to discuss your concerns with your employer as they usually take responsibility for the processing of your visa.

Good luck
