Some families opt for the L (tourist) visa for medical visits, particularly for shorter stays or initial consultations. While primarily designed for tourism, it can be used for brief medical trips.
Key features:
Our international patient team prepares essential documents to support your medical visa application.
An official invitation letter from Beijing Jingdu Children's Hospital confirming your child's scheduled medical treatment. This is a critical document for S2 visa applications and provides the Chinese consulate with the purpose and legitimacy of your visit.
Copies of your child's medical records, diagnosis reports, and treatment recommendation from our specialists. These support the medical necessity of your travel and help consular officials understand the purpose of your visit.
A formal treatment confirmation letter detailing the planned procedures, expected duration of stay, and the assigned medical team. This helps establish the timeline and medical context for your visa application.
Note: We provide these documents after the remote consultation and treatment planning stage. Our team also offers guidance on the visa application process for your specific country's Chinese embassy or consulate.
