Hello there,

With reference to your inquiry, kindly be informed that it depends on whether the ban is permanent or temporary. Although we do believe that it is a permanent ban. This is on one hand.

On the other hand, if you're cured, you can try to get a certificate stating so from the Health Authority in your home country and attach it to your visit visa application. That's the only way to find out.

Moreover, if you are not cured, then forget it, as banning you is due to medical reasons, which means that they have banned your entrance to the country, irrespective of the status of your stay.

Kind regards.
