Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
I have gone through the x ray report you have mentioned.
It is old healed Scar lesion from previous TB infection.
These lesions are inactive and seen life long.
So for work visa, we need to prove that these lesions are not active, infectious.
So get done CT thorax and bronchoscopy.
If they are negative for active infection then you can definitely apply for work visa.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
