What is the procedure for obtaining a visa for medical treatment purposes?

You can apply for a Schengen visa for medical treatment, and the process is straightforward as long as you provide the right documents. The goal is to show the embassy that your treatment is legitimate, scheduled, and financially supported. Here’s how the procedure works 👇 🏥 1. Obtain a Medical Confirmation from the Hospital/Clinic in Europe This is the most important document. It should include: • Your diagnosis (brief) • The name and address of the hospital/clinic • The treatment plan or procedure • Estimated duration of treatment • Appointment dates or hospital admission schedule • Estimated cost of treatment and payment terms Some embassies also require the hospital to confirm that they are ready to accept you as a patient. 📄 2. Get a Letter from Your Doctor in Singapore Your Singapore doctor should issue a letter explaining: • Your medical condition • Why you need treatment abroad • Why treatment in the Schengen country is preferred or necessary 💰 3. Provide Financial Documentation You must prove that you (or your sponsor/insurance) can cover: • Treatment costs • Accommodation • Daily expenses • Return travel Required documents may include: • Bank statements (3–6 months) • Sponsorship letter (if someone pays for your treatment) • Insurance coverage or guarantee of payment 🛡️ 4. Travel Health Insurance Your policy must cover: • Minimum €30,000 coverage • Medical emergency repatriation • Validity across the entire Schengen area 🧾 5.
