The MFA insurance page generally requires policy cover in Belarus for the stay/residence, at least €10,000, evidenced by a policy, card or another insurance document; it lists CIS, Russian and Turkmen treaty exemptions from compulsory health insurance.

Can a carer/companion accompany the patient? Who qualifies and what separate/linked permission applies?

The MFA separately lists a C-visa support letter from a Belarusian healthcare institution for a foreign attendant accompanying a foreigner who needs medical care. This is an attendant visa basis, not automatic permission attached to the patient’s visa; the page does not define a family-member entitlement.

Limits of the record
  • The captured rule does not state whether the patient and attendant must apply together or establish a separate caregiver residence permit under this C-visa category.

How long can the patient stay, what happens if treatment continues longer, and what official extension or follow-up mechanism exists?

The general MFA procedure describes a category C visa as valid for up to 90 days. To extend a foreigner’s term of stay, it directs the person to the local Citizenship and Migration Department unit at the place of registration. The page does not give a medical-visa-specific extension ground or guarantee approval.
