I am ssuposed to be moving in our branch office there in Qatar, so my employer asked me to have a medical exam here in our country. Then, the medical center has given me an UNFIT medical result. They have noted that Iam UNFIT AS PER GCC MEDICAL GUIDELINES. They have found "Both apical pleural thickening" in my X ray, on which the doctor told me that it is not a disease and u dont need any medicine or treatment for this. With this u r fit and healthy and no problem with US,UK,canada and even europe. They still have noted it and given me an UNFIT medical here for they have to follow the GCC guidelines.
They said that anyone who will be going to Qatar shall have a flawless lungs, meaning of no scar or nothing to be noted on x-ray though it means nothing. Is it true? Just what I did is to have another medical exam on other clinic, and now I have a FIT TO WORK. My employer was now processing my working visa for me to get there, what I am afraid of now, is that what if I had the medical exam in Qatar when I got there and saw a linear density thing on my llungs. Would this be a ground for me to be sent back home in our country or to be deported?

Also, could you please give me some info on how long does it takes to process a working visa there?

Please help me on this..Thank you so much!

Hello, It my understanding that the Qatari government/ labor department is concerned about Having TB more than anything else and that's why they take a chest x-ray. Perhaps other members who have more expertise can shed more light on this and give you a more definite answer.
