Dear All,
Hope you are having a great time.
I have obtained the yellow slip (visa number) from Istiqdam on the end of December 2018. Now during the medical test of my wife, it found out that she has Hep B. Summary of the medical results is shown below:
HBsAg - reactive
HBV - nonreactive
HIV Ag/Ab - nonreactive
Anti-HCV - nonreactive
Syphilis Ab - nonreactive
My question, will she be able to have iqama once she comes here in Saudi Arabia? Will the insurance companies insure her?
If you the same case as this, or if you know someone who has the same case as we are, please comment the answers below and inform us what we should do in order to obtain the iqama. Thanks to all and appreciate your help!

The wife is Hepa B- healty carrier as she was in-active as per her doctor. Is there a chance she can be with her husband and get iqama?

my wife is hep b positive. the medical center in dubai asked for second blood sample, and handed us a yellow color report. when we went to appilcation center, they said straight away that we cannot get her iqama with this report. Appreciate to know anyone having similar experince

To keep it very simple, GAMCA will never pass anyone with Hep B. Also application centers will not accept anyone with Hep B. However, it is possible to get Hep B positive dependents a family visa but that requires your employer to get heavily involved when you have landed in Saudi and are going for the medical there. The problem is getting there - you can manage this if you are able to apply from a non-GAMCA or a non VFS country where you apply directly at the Embassy.
