What is a medical fitness test?
In order to be able to obtain a work or residence permit, foreign nationals above the age of 18 need to be free of all forms of communicable diseases such as Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Tuberculosis (TB). The medical test consists of three parts: a physical examination, a blood test, and a chest X-ray – all of which screen for a range of diseases such as HIV/Aids, tuberculosis, syphilis, and hepatitis. UAE residents also have to undergo the medical fitness test for their residency visa renewal.
