Short-stay visa for patients seeking medical treatment at Israeli hospitals, with accompanying family members permitted.
The B/2 Medical Treatment Visa is a specialized short-stay permit designed for foreign nationals traveling to Israel specifically to receive medical care at Israeli hospitals or clinics. This visa category allows patients to undergo diagnostic procedures, surgeries, or ongoing treatments that may not be available in their home countries. To apply, patients must provide a valid passport with at least six months of remaining validity and demonstrate proof of sufficient financial resources to cover the entire cost of the medical treatment and living expenses for the duration of their stay. The application process is part of the broader B/2 visitor framework, ensuring that the patient's entry is documented and authorized for a specific medical purpose.
In addition to financial proof, applicants are typically required to submit a formal invitation or confirmation letter from the Israeli medical institution outlining the planned treatment dates and the nature of the care. It is also common to require medical reports from the patient's home country to support the necessity of the treatment in Israel. The visa fee is 105 NIS, and the duration of stay is determined by the immigration authorities based on the medical documentation provided. Patients are expected to leave the country once their treatment is concluded or their visa expires. This visa ensures that international patients can access Israel's advanced healthcare system while maintaining compliance with national immigration regulations.
