D-6 — Medical Treatment Visa (Residente Temporal D-10)

The Medical Treatment Visa, categorized as Residente Temporal D-10, is a temporary residence visa specifically created for foreign nationals traveling to Cuba to access the country's renowned healthcare services. Cuba is internationally recognized for its expertise in various medical fields, including specialized treatments, therapies, and rehabilitation programs. This visa provides a streamlined and legal process for patients and, where necessary, their accompanying companions to enter the country for the sole purpose of receiving high-quality medical care at Cuban health facilities, ensuring they can focus on their recovery in a supportive environment.

To be eligible for the D-10 visa, applicants must provide a formal acceptance letter from a Cuban medical institution, which confirms that the facility is prepared to provide the necessary care and outlines the expected duration of the treatment. Additionally, applicants must present clear proof of medical necessity, detailing the diagnosis and the specific treatment plan required. The fees for this visa are not standard, as they vary significantly based on the complexity and duration of the medical treatment being sought. Applicants must also demonstrate the financial capacity to cover both their medical expenses and their living costs throughout their stay in Cuba.
