even tho you are hired locally, you still have to go thur the medi test. After you are hired, the company will send you to have a blood test. I think (not 100% sure) you cannot work in the hospitality industry if you have hepetitis.

yes they will check your blood and .. i think hepatitis is one of the Disease that they restrict from working ... cause its a contagious one ... but i dont know ... before you take the risk of buying a visa and coming here only to find out that you will be rejected of an employment visa due to hepa .. then i suggest you call the emerati embasy in Phils ... they should knoe better regarding this .. and they could help you better ... cause its really hard looking for a job now a days here in dubai .. theres a growing number of un employed filipinoes here in dubai ... because of those people who sell visit visa for employment pourposes without even screaning the applicant if he/she has a chance,.. or fit to work ... i hate to see a fellow kabayan come here and get disappointed specially with the amount of money involve just to get here !!! ... its always safe to check and be sure than to be brave and be sorry

Good Luck!!

How it transmits:
Hepatitis B is largely transmitted through exposure to bodily fluids containing the virus. This includes unprotected sexual contact, blood transfusions, re-use of contaminated needles and syringes, vertical transmission from mother to child during childbirth, and so on.
Please understand.. u spend money to come and earn money in dubai... here blood test IS mandatory for everyone who needs his PassPort to be stamped with a residence visa and a work permit...u r NOT allowed to work with a visit visa here. which is valid only for 60 days initially.
so here's what u got to do:
get in touch with the UAE embassy or consulate in manila and find out if HEP - B is included in the list of banned illness. if not.. get going.. if its listed.. dont worry much, waste money and ur time...be happy with what u already are into and cheer up....move up in life.. !!
we are sorry for what u r going thru .. but u GOT to understand this clearly... companies have got nothin to do with Blood test here which is carried out by the Government..Dont loose confidence.. stay away from alchohol which aggrevates the condition and go steady with medications....
Cheers....

Do not lose hope.Although Hepatitis B is hard to cure,there are those who got rid of it.You just have to make your immune system strong and avoid those foods that kill.Why not ask your Doctor of the Interferon alfa injection.Monitor your health,get healthy let your body fight Hepatitis B. :)

Unless you are high-level and critical to a business (eg director/senior executive level), such that they would be prepared to employ you on an (illegal) "visa hop" basis, then if Hep B is on the ban list, you unfortunately don't stand a chance.
If you did come and work here on a visit visa or spousal/family visa (not sure if you can get spousal visa or not with a "banned" condition) you may face imprisonment and certain deportation if you became ill with anything, and had to disclose your condition to doctors treating you.
I am very sorry to hear of your condition. I am even sorrier that paranoia and ignorance is still such here that people are banned for their medical conditions, even if they are prepared to bear their medical bills, but sadly it is so.
Even though the hundreds of thousands of tourists that flood through this place every year don't face a single check.

I found this info for you, it actually looks to me like Hep B is only a problem for working in certain industries. If you're in a non contact environment it doesn't look like it's a problem but check:

Well according to the information I researched, you can work with Hep B so long as it's not in the hospitality industry or maid/nanny. So it's worth looking into.
