Costs of medical travel to Germany

The German healthcare system is divided into two sectors, public and private; some German physicians work under public services and others practise privately. In the public sector all costs are paid by insurance, but in the private sector you must pay in advance and then be reimbursed by the insurance company. To obtain the Germany medical treatment visa you are required to pay a fee depending on the validity period of the visa, as follows:

• If you are coming to Germany for less than three months, you must pay 60 euros.
• If you are under 12, you pay about 35 euros.
• If you intend to stay in Germany for more than three months, you must pay 75 euros.

An important point is that if the visa is refused, the fee you paid is not refunded.

Extension of the Germany medical treatment visa

It is possible to extend the Germany medical treatment visa for patients whose treatment has not been completed and whose health has not improved. Just note that you should apply for its extension before your medical visa expires. Bear in mind that for this you must obtain documents from the physicians and the hospital where you have been treated, so that, on the basis of the documents provided, the German government confirms your need to stay to complete your course of treatment.

Possibility of having a companion during treatment

If the patient is a minor, the legal guardian will be permitted to accompany them. Also, if the applicant for medical treatment is so ill that they need a family member (or other people) to care for them while travelling to Germany, they can have a companion.
