being tattoo+ in a medical
I heard some rumors on tattoos being an issue in getting a job in Qatar.can being tattoo+ make you fail the medical test for visa/employment in qatar????
or does it all depend on the employer?
i would really appreciate if some one with a clear view on the matter could help me with my question.
thanks in advance!
Xray: you got spot or scars...worry now
Blood test for any communicable diseases: Hepa B & C, AIDS, but not sure on the syphilis...
Both Hep B and C are tested for.

how about an engineer like me,do they test for hepa b as well.How is it true that only those certain job categories are tested for hepa b/c, TB, etc..I know for sure HIV and X-ray are the mandatory test required for all residence permit.
I will appreciate so much if you can(your friend ) who works in Medical commission can clear these doubts as I have noticed that many are searching for the answers on this forum.
May god bless us!!
thanks..
aaand for the xray, they will make you take your shirt off right? if so,BUSTED!! arrrrh what the hell... ill get through some how... hopefully.. ;p
hello Lim. thank you for the reply. helped ease my mind a bit more.so,do u know when exactly this medical test takes place? just after arriving in qatar or later?
The medical test here is far from detail.
You will only be required to go for an X-Ray & Blood test. That's all.
There's not even a doctor examining you.
thank you pabor and everyone for the replies... so, clearly tattoos are not an issue since there are no comments that suggest otherwise.quite a relief... =)
Tattoo is not an issue, my friend works in the Medical Commission who is responsible for medical checkup for expatriates. They are more focused on infectious diseases.

Yes - no worries about a tattoo...
a very detailed test. But a tattoo will not affect the outcome - only TB, HIV or Hepatitis will get you sent home.
thanks a lot for the comment. hopefully it wont be an issue... i am just worried because i saw in my medical that the doctor had mentioned "tattoo+" in skin condition section. and one more thing, is there a medical test or something like that after you land in qatar?
thankss...
No prob.

No, tattoo is not an issue with Qatar. If it is an issue, it is with your employer.
The medical checks which consist of an X-ray and blood test, do not bother whether you have tattoos, hair all over you body, or 3 nipples.
