Hepatitis B and Immigration/visa issues

I’m sorry that you’re going through all this stress, @IWillBeCured. All I can say is that even with the pre-employment health check that I got in Germany, it was fine. I hope you are settling into the Czech republic OK and you are continuing your journey to your dream job. Please keep us up to date on your progress.

Yours sincerely,
Thomas

Hey Thomas,
I am here as I wanted to know about visa status in Qatar. I am hep B positive. My husband works there and we are planning to apply for family Visa. I have this question, will my Visa be rejected or there will be other tests to be done to get the Visa?

Hi @Aradhana_Tiwari,

I’m actually not sure about the migration rules in Qatar and their government website isn’t very helpful in providing this information. I don’t know if the Hepatitis B foundation has any information about Qatar @chari.cohen?

Cheers,
Thomas

Hey people, as I see you all, you all are very positive with your life. I am very new to this one. I don’t know from where I got contracted to this one. None of my family members have it.

I recently got married and got to know about this after my marriage. I wanted to know, if here is someone who is hep B positive and living in Qatar, or someone who can help me in knowing that hep B people are given visa in Qatar or not.
Feels great to see people like me and still staying so positive. I will definitely need to learn from you all

Dear @IWillBeCured,

I am really not sure about the laws in the Czech Republic. It would be best to get into contact with a licenced migration officer to clarify this.

Hello Thomas . First of all thank you for having me in this group.

I’m indian citizen. My husband work in newzealand country. He have work visa in newzeland . We are trying to apply for partnership work visa. I want to know if my hepatitis b positive will affect my visa…or i will get the visa. ? Kindly reply back as i’m really broken knowing that i’m hepatitis b positive and i’ll not be able to have visa. And didn’t have chance to have family with my husband.

My doctor di my elisa test it came 20. DNA report is 341 ul/ml report…my mother have it. But she also don’t know about…and don’t have any knowledge about it. I don’t know if i have vaccination of Hepatitis b in childhood.

Thank you

Dear @Surbhitiwari,

To be sure, you should contact a licenced migration officer to discuss your case.

The rules regarding visas are listed here: Acceptable standard of health criteria for visa approvals | Immigration New Zealand, stating “We may decline your residence visa if you, or somebody else on your application, have any of the following conditions: Hepatitis B-surface antigen positive and meeting criteria for anti-viral treatment in New Zealand.

My interpretation of this (which may be completely wrong and may be dependent on other aspects of your health condition) is that with a HBV DNA level of 341 IU/mL, you would NOT meet the criteria for antiviral treatment and so this exclusion criterion doesn’t apply.

Hope this helps,
Thomas

Hello thomas thank you for your reply… is there anyone in the group who are from newzeland and help me with this


This is my report

I am going to persue my master’s degree in australia but i am worried that it will affect my visa and i have been living with HBV for more than 3 years. What do you suggest mr.tt.

Hi @Sangye_Tashi,

Welcome to the forum and thanks for your question. I’ve moved your post to a more appropriate thread, as mentioned in the posts above, HBV in itself does not necessarily prevent the passing of a visa.

Hope this helps,
Thomas

Thank you for your quick response. I have been trying to know whether there is people who grant their visa even they are experiencing with HBV.

Yes, @UyenV, @lien.tran, @Nafisa.Yussf all live with HBV, have come from overseas and live in Australia.

I think @Ugyen and @eemnace0904 were going through this process, perhaps they could provide a bit more information.

So far i am not having any medicine as console by my doctor. Is there any other way to take care my HBV ?

I think making sure that people close to you are vaccinated and doing things that are helpful for general health (eating well, sleeping well, regular exercise) are probably some of the best things you can do to take care of yourself.
