United States
The United States may deny a visa to individuals who are obese, have cancer, or diabetes.
U.S. visa regulations can consider health conditions as part of the public charge or medical grounds of inadmissibility. However, obesity, cancer, and diabetes alone do not automatically result in a visa denial. Each case is assessed individually by consulate officers based on overall health, potential public charge risks, and the applicant’s ability to pay for health care in the U.S.

The United States can deny a visa to people who are obese, have cancer, or diabetes.
Health conditions like obesity, cancer, or diabetes alone do not automatically lead to visa denial. However, they can be assessed under medical grounds of inadmissibility or public charge considerations if the applicant is unlikely to be self-sufficient or poses a health burden.
