Hello,
Only the concerned visa authorities can confirm whether a person infected with hepatitis B can travel and work abroad or not. This virus infection does not display significant signs or symptom unless one undergoes blood testing. Hepatitis B virus is not spread through food or water, sharing eating utensils, kissing, hugging, holding hands, sneezing or coughing. Individuals found to be Hepatitis B positive should not be declared unfit to work without appropriate medical evaluation and counseling. Do write to me again with more queries.
Best wishes and regards!
