I'm really worried because I was asked to leave the UAE due to a lung x-ray showing a scar from what they say is old TB, even though I don't have active TB right now. I really want to return to Dubai but I'm not sure what steps to take to prove I'm healthy enough to go back. Is there a way to legally and safely address this scar with treatment or medications? Have you dealt with cases like this before where people needed to show proof of treatment to re-enter a country? Any guidance would be appreciated.
Consult a pulmonologist in your home country for a thorough evaluation, and obtain a medical certificate, including a chest CT scan, sputum tests, and blood tests, confirming the TB is inactive, then, with this documentation, apply for a fitness certificate from the UAE embassy or consulate, which may require additional testing or documentation, to facilitate your return to Dubai
