China Medical Visa (S2 Visa)
The China Medical Visa is specifically tailored for individuals who are traveling to China to receive medical treatment or consultations. Whether it’s for a medical procedure, specialized care, or follow-up treatment in China’s renowned healthcare facilities, this visa provides the necessary authorization to stay in the country during your treatment. It is also available for family members or companions accompanying the patient during the course of treatment.
Purpose: The primary purpose of this visa is for individuals seeking medical treatment at hospitals or medical institutions in China. It can be used for treatment in both traditional Chinese medicine and modern medical facilities. The medical visa may also be issued to those accompanying the patient, such as family members or caretakers.
Eligibility: Applicants must provide an invitation letter from a recognized medical institution in China, which includes details of the treatment, the medical procedure, and the expected duration of stay. Additionally, medical records or diagnosis reports from the home country may be requested to confirm the need for treatment in China.
Duration & Validity: The Medical Visa typically allows for a stay of up to 90 days, but it can be extended depending on the treatment progress and the patient’s condition. Multiple entries may be granted for patients requiring multiple rounds of treatment or medical visits.
Supporting Documents: In addition to the invitation letter from the medical institution, applicants may need to present a medical certificate or proof of treatment requirements.
Additional Notes: For patients requiring long-term treatment or specialized procedures not available in their home country, China offers some of the world’s leading healthcare services, particularly in cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou.
The Medical Visa ensures that patients from abroad have access to the high-quality medical services China has to offer while maintaining the flexibility to extend their stay if necessary.
