Can people with mental disorders get visas to the United States and Japan?

As far as studying abroad is concerned, the medical examination abroad is first and foremost the requirement of the sending party. As the first national normative document, the State Council forwarded the Interim Provisions of the State Education Commission on Studying Abroad 1986, which listed physical health, politics, business and foreign languages as the basic conditions for studying abroad, and stipulated that "the health status of all kinds of overseas students must meet the prescribed standards for studying abroad and pass the provincial and provincial examinations.

At that time, the designated physical examination standards for international students were very specific, stipulating that more than a dozen situations could not be selected, including active tuberculosis, active extrapulmonary tuberculosis, thoracoplasty and lobectomy, serious chronic diseases, organic heart disease, hypertension, hepatitis, nephritis and serious urogenital diseases, blood system diseases, psychosis or epilepsy, severe neurosis, cancer, schistosomiasis, leprosy, physical dysplasia and severe visual impairment.

Secondly, the requirements for the recipient, foreign schools generally take physical health as the basic condition for receiving international students. For example, in the materials submitted by schools in the United States, Japan, Britain, Austria, Italy and other countries. Physical health certificate or physical examination form is one of the necessary materials; Some countries, such as Japan, Italy and Ireland, are visiting scholars, but if they are included in bilateral exchange programs, they also need to provide health certificates or medical examination forms. So, if you plan to study in these countries, of course, you need to go to the hospital for physical examination. Physical examination is generally routine at this time. Some of the forms are provided by receiving schools, some are uniformly formulated by the national education authorities, and some can be made with physical examination forms commonly used in China; The hospitals to be inspected are generally not specified, as long as they have a considerable level, and generally the lowest is a county-level hospital.

International students studying abroad do not need to apply for visas, except in some countries. Most countries need to apply for an entry visa to embassies and consulates in China in advance. Visa is the most effective gateway to control the entry of patients with the above diseases. Therefore, many countries stipulate that visa applications should provide medical certificates in addition to admission notices or invitations and financial aid certificates; For example, France, Germany, South American countries, Russia and Eastern European countries all have such requirements for self-funded international students, while Canada, New Zealand and Australia have to provide them at their own expense. Although some countries do not require it, there are related columns in visa application forms, requiring applicants to declare themselves. For example, Table 34 of US Non-immigrant Visa Application 156 asks: Are you suffering from infectious diseases, mental illness, drug abuse or substance abuse? The applicant should assure the visa officer that he will give a realistic answer.

It should be noted that many countries now provide special physical examination forms, requiring applicants to go to designated hospitals for physical examination.

Quarantine involves infectious diseases and vaccination.

The original quarantine infectious diseases in the world are plague, cholera, smallpox and yellow fever, which will do great harm to human beings. Later, the World Health Organization announced that smallpox had been basically controlled worldwide since 1980, so the smallpox prevention certificate is generally not needed now, but some countries still need this certificate; At present, yellow fever and cholera are the most common diseases, and there are basically no cholera and yellow fever infections in Europe and North America. Some developing countries have poor sanitation and harsh climatic conditions, and many infectious diseases are still prevalent, such as Africa and South America. Tourists from these areas are required to show yellow fever vaccination certificates all over the world. Some Asian countries are also epidemic areas of cholera and malaria, and different countries have different requirements for tourists from different countries. Judging from the current situation, international students who go to Europe, most Asian countries, North America and Oceania generally need cholera vaccination certificates, while international students who go to Africa, South America and individual Asian countries need at least two kinds of vaccines: yellow fever and cholera.

Vaccination is mainly carried out in accordance with the regulations of the International Health Organization and the requirements of the countries you go to. The vaccination programs of China's quarantine organs generally include cholera vaccine, yellow fever vaccine, diphtheria and tetanus toxoid vaccine, hepatitis B epidemic bacteria, rabies vaccine, human gamma globulin, Japanese encephalitis vaccine, epidemic encephalomyelitis vaccine, typhoid and paratyphoid A and B vaccine, etc. What kind of vaccine international students need to be vaccinated is determined by the quarantine organ according to the requirements of various countries and the epidemic situation. International students who have stayed abroad for more than one year should go through the relevant formalities with the quarantine organ before going abroad.
