Hi, I was diagnosed with TB last Nov,2016 in Bahrain, they start giving me TB meds and send me home the earliest possible, when I came in my country on December and I went to a health center to ask for help, they took a sputum test and it was already negative But I continue my TB medicine from the health center and then last February I did a sputum test again and it is still negTive and they change my medicine, the doctor gave me a medical certificate that i am already fit to work, my question is can ingo back in bahrain and continue my medicine there to complete my 6months medication, thank you in advance..

I am afraid it would be the same rules for everyone regardless

but you could try.

Re entry after cancelation of visa for inactive or active pulmonary tuberculosis, especially with a scar seen on Xray will be difficult. Usually not processed, Sorry for that.

It's been clearly explained on many forums on this site and many times by me - use the search button.

For the GCC, it does not matter if your have been cured of TB or not. If you have a lung scar which shows on X-ray, forget about working here.

how did it go for you? I got the same problem now but when I visited LMRA website is says that if there is a minor changes on your Xray they will still mark fit with medication and will not send you home..was your TB active or not?
