Q-I am in the process of applying for UAE residence visa for myself and my wife, who is pregnant. She has been told that undergoing medical tests through X-rays during pregnancy are not advisable.
A-You have not mentioned the emirate where you have applied for residence visa. We assume that you and your wife are applying for the visa and undergoing medical fitness tests for the first time in the UAE. It is compulsory to go through medical fitness tests which include X-ray examination of the chest for all individuals, who are seeking a residence visa in the UAE. Since your wife is pregnant, you may request for a waiver for the X-ray. You may contact the health authority concerned in the emirate where you have applied for the residence visa for more clarification on this issue prior to your wife's medical fitness tests.
