Temporary residence for foreigners seeking medical treatment or accommodation in nursing care facilities in North Macedonia.
The Medical Treatment Visa (Type D — Medical) is a long-stay national visa established under the Law on Foreigners to address the specific needs of foreign nationals requiring extended medical care within North Macedonia. It fills the gap for patients whose treatment plan exceeds the standard 90-day short-stay limit, ensuring they have a legal basis to remain in the country for the duration of their recovery or therapy. This visa is part of the broader Type D framework, which supports long-term stays for specific, non-employment purposes.
This visa is designed for individuals traveling to North Macedonia specifically to receive medical treatment or to stay in specialized accommodation facilities. It is ideal for patients with documented medical conditions that require ongoing care from local health institutions. The visa is distinctive in its focus on health-related necessity; applicants must be aged 18 or older (or have appropriate guardianship), provide proof of their medical condition, and demonstrate that they have secured valid health insurance to cover their stay, with a standard application fee of EUR 70.
