moving to a different country?

qwerty

I was wondering if anyone might have the experience or knowledge of how evidence of a diagnosis would be transferred if one moves to a different country? Would I need to have another assessment in that country or is showing them the diagnostic report that was done in the UK enough evidence?

  • This is a pretty interesting question, I'd never actually thought of it.

    Most chartered psychiatrists, if not all use ICD-10/11, or DSM-5 criteria, so I'd imagine it would stand.

    It might depend on which country you are moving to, but it seems to be pretty much standard.

    I'd imagine that your diagnosis would stand.

    May I ask which country you are thinking of moving to?

    I'm not completely sure about moving yet, it's more of a thing I wondered about for a while, but it would be useful to know. And the same question applies for short term travel as well, I think, like if you are asking for an accessible hotel room or something. I guess the answer might differ according to which country you're going to??

    Plastic pretty much covered it all there. The embassy tip is a great one.

    I want to go to Estonia at some point soon, not to live though, it looks pretty good. Cheap too.

    Hotels do not care which room they give you - if they have an accessible room available, you can book it when you turn up. 

    If you give them more notice they can reserve it for you to make sure you get it - just like a bridal suite or room overlooking the good view..  You do not need any proof of disability - they really don't care.

    The embassy of the country you're thinking of visiting will have all the information you need about what health things are transferable - same as academic qualifications..
