Hi asad1230,

This is a common question amongst expats moving to the UAE. You might find it useful to check out some existing threads relating to your question. The issue of medical restrictions to obtaining a visa for Dubai are tackled here and here.

To be honest, it seems to bit of a grey area and there is much debate over the issue. It seems that people have had very different experiences when it comes to medical testing for UAE visas.

I hope the threads are useful and offer some clarity on the issue.

My petition is in the favor of a common man who is going to visit or work in Dubai (or any gulf country) and gets cheated by their health authorities claiming that he is sick without any written certificate. When he returns to his home country and do all necessary checkups he was found perfect certified by Asia’s biggest hospital in New Delhi, India. This man was deported by Dubai because of their personal and outdated laws. Dear Brother and sisters, let’s make the CHANGE, PLEASE SIGN IN YOUR SUPPORT AT MY BELOW MENTIONED LINK. http://www.change.org/en-IN/petitions/a-real-story-of-a-a-victim-of-discriminating-laws-of-dubai-united-arab-emirates Thank you so much.
