This route is the short-stay visitor visa, whose listed purposes include medical tourism for non-Israeli visitors; the official page does not describe a separate medical-entry visa.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • London consular page describes short-stay medical visits, not clinical eligibility or treatment-provider approval.
  • Introduction
    This service enables granting a visa for a short stay in Israel for purposes of visiting, touring, medical tourism, business, nonacademic studies for a short period, etc.
  • Who can apply?
    Non-Israeli citizens who wish to receive a visa for short stays in Israel, such as tourist, medical or business visits

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

For an extension on medical grounds, documents from the treating hospital on the current condition and an estimated treatment period are required, dated within one month before the request. The official source does not state provider documentation for the initial visa application.

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

  • The page does not distinguish treatment funding from ordinary living funds.

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

Limits of the record

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

Under the eVisa system the length of stay is up to 90 days, determined by Border Control on arrival; if treatment continues, an extension for medical reasons can be requested with documents from the treating hospital on the current condition and an estimated treatment period (documents dated within one month before the request).
