what is appropriate visa type for medical services?

Featured Replies

Dear members, I am confused by information obtain from RAM hospital, since my mother is coming here, and she will spend her last day of her life with us, hospital that will provide treatment and inpatient care is also willing to prepare documents for appropriate visa type. problem is they dont know exactly which one is, is it Non O, non B, etc, Does anybody know here on forum, what should be appropriate type of visa ? one that is extendable at immigration office not at visa runs

Non immigrant O visa is issued for medical treatment.

Extensions for medical treatment can be obtained for any type of visa entry at immigration. The longest extension allowed is 90 days. One of the requirements to get the extension is a certification by a doctor and/or the hospital is that the applicant is unable to travel.

What type of visa a embassy or consulate will issue for medical treatment can depend upon where it is applied for. Some will only issue a tourist visa and others will do a non-o visa.

What is your visa or extension of stay status here? Getting her an extension as your dependent if she is 50 or over may be a better option if you are on an extension of stay.

A non-o visa can be issued for a dependent of a person living here on an extension.

A extension based upon medical treatment can be issued for any type of entry. It can be done for a tourist visa or a visa exempt entry.

Please specify how to obtain additional extension , based on pregnancy for single entry Tourist visa.

Is that possible, even its usually max. for another 30 Days at Immigration ?? That would mean based on a Single entry Tourist Visa stretched another 90 days??

Thanks

You doctor would have to provide supporting documents that states you are unable to travel. You would apply for the extension at a immigration.

It is a maximum of 90 days that the extension can be done for but another one can be applied for after that.. Some immigration offices will only do 30 days each time.
