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

The T - Medical Visa is for foreign citizens travelling to Iran for medical purposes who have already received an approval letter from one of the authorised medical centres; the listed applicant category is patients with physical illnesses.

See recorded sources

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

An approval letter from one of Iran’s authorised medical centres is a documented precondition of this visa (the applicant must already hold that letter before applying); the source does not name specific hospitals or describe an appointment/referral process beyond that letter.

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

Insurance: travel insurance is compulsory and issued together with the visa; the applicant only pays the insurance fee with the visa fee. The official source does not state how treatment costs and living costs must be shown.

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 companion may accompany the patient and under what permission.

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

The embassy in Stockholm states a maximum stay of 90 days for a single-entry visa and 30 days per entry for a double-entry visa. If the patient needs to stay longer, they must apply to the police General Directorate of Foreign Nationals Affairs after arrival. No medical-specific follow-up mechanism is stated.
