Spots on Lungs

Indilemma
By Indilemma

I worked in Dubai for almost seven years and have moved to Doha a few weeks ago.

Whilst in Philippines I acquired spots on my lungs and have it ever since (13 years ago). When I came to Dubai, there was no problem whatsoever with the medical (for 5 years) and until 2 years ago when I transferred to a new company, the spots have been evident again. After undergoing series of tests, I was declared by the Health Ministry in Dubai Free from Infectious diseases.

My concern is this - will I be allowed to work and get good opportunity and be given RP in Doha if the spots are evident? What are the steps on acquiring Residence Permit. Will the support of my Employer/Company be heavy enough for me to pas the medical?

You will undergo medical test before they will issue RP.It includes blood test, Xray, etc.If the spots you were talking about will be seen, I think they will do further test(im not sure ha).

Your company can not do much to help you pass the medical test. It depends on the radiologist to declare you fit for work based on your X-ray. If it had not been a problem in uae, it should not be here too, hopefully.
