Jcardinez, the rule about those diseases is very strict in Libya, when they find out about it, you will lose your job on the spot and be asked to leave the country. There is no way to avoid the medical checks as most employers only accept recent Libyan medical certificates, some even choose which hospital you should go to.

I think you're taking a big risk accepting a job in Libya, they will NOT give you residence permit (iqama) and they will not even keep you as an employee.

I think diabetes is OK it's HIV, TB and Hep that they are looking for. Hope you have a safe journey here and that you settle well in Libya. Where will you be based?

..all employees ( locals and foreigners ) are required to get a blood test at the state hospital for a medical certificate. if you know you already have a disease, you should spare yourself the trouble since you'll only get banned from entering the country ever again.

and ethically speaking, you're putting people's lives in danger by trying to disguise a known condition just to earn a salary.
