Hepatitis B and Immigration/visa issues

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.

Yes mr. Tt i am doing what you say. Can you tell me symptoms of HBV, how will i happens to know when its active?

I am not sure about Qatar but I have recently passed blood tests to get work permit in UAE. As I understand the legislation is close in these two countries.
I am 2.5 years on tenofovir with undetectable DNA now.

Hi. I am a chronic HBV carrier. Recently I got the student visa of japan. Will I be denied for work visa or green card in japan for my Hepatitis B virus infection? Hoping your kind reply. Thank you.

As far as I’m aware - when applying for a visa, Japan immigration only requires a blood result for Hepatitis C, but not for hepatitis B.
At least this was the case when I’ve applied for a Japanese visa around 10 years ago (time flies!). Things could have changed since then. It’s best if you check for requirements on a Japanese embassy website.

Hi @Sangye_Tashi,
You can tell if it is active from blood results. Many times, your liver can be damaged without any symptoms, so it is important to keep monitoring your condition with lab tests.

I agree with @mantana and checking up on the Japanese immigration website specifically.

Hello @ThomasTu,
Thank you so much for helping me through the process and giving me the encouragement and hope I needed. I was really nervous about it, but your support made all the difference.

The doctor did not ask me about the cobdition, they only ask some question about my ability for my work prerequireis. A heart checkup and ask for surgury or accident history.
Now I am able to work and persue my dreamjob.

I wish that everyone has the same opportunity to work without discrimination based on any conditions they may have. It’s important to me that everyone has an equal chance to pursue their dreams and contribute to the world.

Also good news is that I now got my work permit and resident card without any discrimination.

Hi Uyen,
I am a registered nurse, and made an application to study masters in Nursing (coursework) in Australia. Upon doing my medicals a few days ago, I was told that I was positive for Hepatitis B.
This was so hard and difficult for me.
The MOC requested to do Liver function test and the results came normal.
How will this affect my visa application? Do you think I can get the visa rejected?
What happens in a situation like mine.
Do you know of anyone in healthcare or nursing like me that tested positive for Hep B and still got the visa after the LFTs.

Kindly assist

Dear @Happysang,

Please see the thread above for some information, particularly this post: Hepatitis B and Immigration/visa issues - #2 by ThomasTu

@Dane, I’m not sure if you could give an update on your situation?
