How long can the patient stay, what happens if treatment continues longer, and what official extension or follow-up mechanism exists?
The general visa instructions describe the medical-visit visa as nonrenewable and require a Director General decision to convert it to a work visa. The medical-visit section does not state its initial stay duration or a special extension process when treatment continues. A separate nationality page describes a six-month entry arrangement for its specified medical-admission group, but the relationship to the general medical-visit rule is not clear enough to promise that duration for every patient.
