TB Ban ( old TB scars )

[Fireengine]

Hi the UAE cabinet announced in Feb. 2016 a new TB policy, from what I have picked up it is aimed at getting husbands, wives and children reunited with each other. The one headline carried in all the local newspapers read: ' People with old tuberculosis scars can get UAE visa', my question is this, what about people who have previously been banned due to old TB scars and want to visit friends can they apply for a visit visa?
Regards,
Ernest

@Fireengine,

That is still not clear to me too.
Looking for answers!!

Hi Deepak,

Any update on this? Will someone need to remove the ban first to visit on a visit visa?

Hi Deepak, it is encouraging to see the number of views this topic has had since inception, I think most of us understand the " first degree relative " aspect but we are no closer to knowing if we can enter on a visit/tourist visa not having a first degree relative in the UAE. Can we enter ? Do we need to have the ban first removed ? If the UAE government does not want us to enter even on a visit/tourist visa I think they should issue a notice/declaration/statement to that effect. Perhaps someone in the UAE who reads this comment and has access to a person/s in government can make inquiries .
