Hepatitis B is an issue in case of a permanent visa which is always subject to PIC 4005 (no health waiver). Below is a recent costing for an applicant with asymptomatic Chronic Viral Hepatitis B:
Male 30 years of age
Pharmaceuticals: $264,000.00
Medical services: $71,500.00
Total: $335,500.00
The costs greatly exceed the significant cost threshold of $40,000.and such applications are doomed to failure with no prospects of success on an appeal to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal.
Though, there is a way to solve this issue- to undergo a course of medical treatment before visa application and ensure that it is successful. Yet, you will need to undergo additional medical examination to demonstrate that. More details.
