Hi Abdul,

You mention both Dubai and Saudi Arabia in your question. Obviously, as these are two different countries, different rules apply in each case.

The issue of Hep B is a common question amongst expats moving to Dubai and you might find the conversations on previous threads quite useful. You can see discussions on Hep B and work permits for Dubai here, here and here. 

B
oth in Saudi Arabia and Dubai there are restrictions on peope with certain medical conditions taking up employment in certain jobs. However, I am afraid there are no concrete rules. In each case, people have different experiences.

My advice would be to contact the immigration authorities or speak to a local immgration lawyer to find out about the latest updates on medical restrictions to work permits.

Good luck
