South Korean government has enforced strict health and mental screening protocols for Bangladeshi nationals applying for E-9, E-10 and H-2 work visas.

Embassy of Republic of Korea in Dhaka announced applicants must submit comprehensive Health and Mental Statement disclosing any history of infectious diseases including Tuberculosis, Syphilis and Viral Hepatitis Type B. Statement also requires disclosure of past drug addiction, mental disorders and serious injuries from last five years.

Providing false information or missing details can lead to visa denial, approval cancellation or deportation after entry, embassy officials warned.

Medical Check-Up Form requires extensive physical and laboratory examinations. Tests include physical metrics like height, weight, blood pressure and vision assessment. Laboratory screenings cover urinalysis for glucose and protein, liver function tests through Serum GOT and GPT, plus anemia and cholesterol checks.

Epidemic screening demands negative results for HBs Ag (Hepatitis), VDRL (Syphilis) and AIDS. Chest X-rays are mandatory to rule out respiratory conditions.

Workers staying longer than 90 days must register at local immigration offices upon arrival. Registration requires medical examination certificate from Korean government-designated hospitals and completion of mandatory basic training programme for alien registration.

Embassy issued specific warning regarding documentation format. Health checks must follow exact sample provided by embassy. Any deviation or unauthorized recommendations will result in immediate visa rejection.

E-9 visa covers non-professional employment, E-10 applies to maritime labour, while H-2 visa is designated for visiting work purposes. Protocols aim to ensure public health and safety standards in South Korea.
