Can OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) be a barrier to immigration ?

Post by ShvainOUO1 » Fri Mar 03, 2023 8:59 pm

I have OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder). Can it prevent me from immigrating to the UK (getting visa(global talent, start up or innovator), ILR and naturalization)?

Thanks for the reply. I have encountered this article:

https://www.gov.uk/government/publicati ... mmendation

MED6 section states that if some form PQ shows that I have some mental disorders than I may be refused in entry. What is the form PQ ? When do I have to fill it out?

This document is 10 years old. Things have moved on since then.

It would be discrimination as far as I understand.

What visa exactly are you intending to apply for?

there should be no issues provided you meet the requirements for endorsement and a visa.
