What medical treatment/purpose does the route cover and which applicant role does it address: patient, donor or another medical purpose?

This temporary humanitarian-residence route is for a foreign patient admitted to a health institution in Bosnia and Herzegovina for medical treatment or rehabilitation. The law requires the general temporary-residence conditions plus evidence of admission to an institution in BiH.

Limits of the record
  • The consulted official law/form material was not obtained as an official consolidated 2026 text; route-specific current implementation and independent review remain pending.

What acceptance, appointment, referral, treatment plan or healthcare-provider documentation is important?

The route form asks for evidence issued by the health institution, therapeutic community or thermal sanitarium showing the patient’s admission and the period of treatment or rehabilitation in BiH. The law’s wording is broader and requires admission to an institution in BiH; the form does not name every possible provider type.

How must treatment costs, living costs and insurance be demonstrated?

The SFA form separates evidence of how treatment and rehabilitation costs will be paid from evidence of health insurance. General residence conditions also require sufficient means of subsistence and adequate accommodation. The sources do not equate treatment-cost payment with living costs or insurance.

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

The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm whether a carer or companion can accompany the patient or what permission would apply to a companion.

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

Residence is granted for up to one year and may be extended under the same conditions; the route form asks for the treatment period. An extension is not automatic: the applicant must request it and continue to justify this basis. The first-application and extension procedure is handled by the SFA under the general temporary-residence rules.
