I have an offer from DIA as a team lead technical. I have Hepatitis antigen active.
I know hepatitis and other test are necessary for the Qatar. But I want to ask whether it can effect me also ( Information technology field/ Networking field). Is it not only specific for food and nursing professionals only ?
Will this problem effect me in getting over there ?

Kindly help me out.

They only check Hep B if your job falls under the category of Food & Health.

Go ahead accept the Job.

WE have the same case.

Hope this helps.

Dear I am sorry to say but this is reality and you have to accept it.

in Qatar they are checking three main disease.

HIV

Hepatitis whether it is B or C

TB

These tests are applicable for all expatriate who are coming to Doha on residence visa.

It will be impossible to process your resident permit once it is diagnosed

I think Hep-B is not checked for medical tests for Residence Permit and might not be a problem for work visa but if you get sick and any of the blood tests shows the traces of Hep-B then you will be in trouble.

Hepatitis B is considered as a serious issue and it will be difficult to pass the medical test if anybody having it.
