Medical travel visas & entry

Only the responsible authorities decide on visas: the German or Czech embassy or consulate, or the visa centre acting for it. Requirements depend on nationality, place of residence, and the purpose and length of the stay, and they change. Always check the mission’s current instructions before booking.

Germany and Czechia are both in the Schengen area.

Up to 90 days

A short-stay Schengen visa covers up to 90 days in any 180-day period, if your nationality needs a visa at all.

More than 90 days

Longer treatment or rehabilitation needs a national long-stay visa from the country where the treatment takes place. Allow extra time for it.

Visa-free nationalities

Some nationalities can enter the Schengen area without a visa for short stays. The 90-day limit still applies, and border officers can ask about the purpose of the trip and how it is paid for.

Prepare these, then compare them with the mission’s own checklist.

• A completed application form and passport photos
• A valid passport (see the preparation checklist)
• A letter from the provider confirming the planned treatment, the dates and the expected duration
• Proof that the costs are covered: an advance-payment confirmation, a cost guarantee from an insurer or sponsor, or proof of funds
• Travel medical insurance, where required
• Proof of accommodation, and the documents of any companions

We help you organize the information and the genuine provider documents the application needs, and clarify what to check with the mission. We do not issue visas, cannot speed up a decision and never create invitations that a provider has not issued.
