The South Africa Medical Consultation eVisa is intended for eligible foreign travellers who need to visit South Africa for medical care or consultation. South African immigration rules provide for a medical treatment visa for people travelling to the country for medical treatment, with supporting documentation required from a registered South African medical practitioner or healthcare institution.

Applicants may need a letter confirming that the medical facility can provide treatment, the estimated costs, treatment schedule and expected duration. They may also need evidence showing how medical and hospital expenses will be covered, along with travel and financial documents.

Before applying, check the current requirements for your nationality and the exact type of medical visit. A medical treatment visa does not provide permission to work in South Africa.
