MEDICAL TREATMENT VISA 

Medical Treatment Visa allows foreign nationals to enter South Africa for the purpose of receiving medical care at a recognised healthcare facility. Applicants must provide proof of medical necessity, such as a letter from a registered South African doctor or hospital confirming treatment arrangements, as well as evidence of sufficient financial means to cover medical and living expenses. This visa is typically issued for the duration of the treatment and may be extended if additional care is required. Holders are not permitted to work while in South Africa under this visa.
