Hi There,

I Assume u did TB Gold test, which may come back as positive. The next thing you will be doing is Chest X-ray. If it comes back as normal, you can get a letter from your GP or infectious specialist to support your visa. I feel you may have exposed to TB. It doesn't mean that you have it. You could have picked up from someone. If you r not infective to other, there is know need for any treatment neither you should worry. It would be false positive of your gold test.

Hope this helps

Good luck

Hi,

As i experienced with some of my staff who came and left qatar due to this same reason,,,

There will be a 2nd X- Ray. and then if they not happy they will call for a Test.

Depend on the test results..means the size of your Infected circle they will decide whether they will issue the work visa or not.

If they reject to give U will not get a chance to work in Qatar.

BUT I wish that u will get normal results in this.

HOPE U had TB before???
