Thanks for the help, I was wondering if they ever check for things such as...oh I don't know...THC? Many of my friends have smoked around me and I'm afraid that that might show up and risk the rest of my family getting deported and the like. I'm assuming that they don't check for this, correct?

Arabs probably smoke twice as much as British expats so no worries there.

Inselaffen

they probably don't have to take blood tests though!

Spugsy

you'll be fine mate, but I'd pack it in a few months before you come just in case, it can stay in your hair and clothes, so remember that.

I move in about 2 and 1/2 months and have only done it a couple times (around 3), do you know if any major companies do hair tests?

Isn't the chest x-ray a FZ thing - I had to have blood test and xray even as a spouse with Sharjah FZ

In KSA terms, I had to have a blood test which tested for HIV and other STD's ( gonorrhea and syphilis ) plus a chest x ray. These two were required,AFAIK, in order for me to get the work visa.

Company specific - simple health check, hearing and eyesight test, height, weight ,urine test ( mainly for diabetes ).

In terms of the THC stuff, I remember a similar post a few weeks ago, and as spugsy said, best thing is to knock it on the head as soon as, before your tests are due.

My tests were done back in early Feb, even though I'm not due out there tilnext week.

Good luck.

stays in your system for approx 12 weeks... or so im told

i've not heard of regular hair checks... i do advise of quiting for minimum of 1 month before entry if you can to be reasonably sure to be "clean"...

physically clean "should" be fine - but be careful....

Autonomy

so when did you have your last spliff?

nottmbantam

Errm,perhaps my message was misleading. I don't do drugs, or smoke (anymore !), just that I remember someone asking about 'a friend' who had been smoking dope and had a similar question re THC staying in one's system.

Of were you just avvin a larff?

It was last week, and I am definitely never doing it again with even the slightest hint of a drug test just to be safe. BTW, I am 17 years old and traveling with my family, so I'm not entirely if they would even test me for my father's occupation.

Spugsy

if you've only done it a few times it'll be gone in 4-5 weeks.

Spugsy

now that would be fun if the whole family got turned back because of you eh?

(You've got nothing to worry about, you'll be fine)
