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

The medical eVISA addresses a patient seeking treatment at a hospital that is a member of the Malaysia Healthcare Travel Council. It is an entry-visa process, not the separate long-term medical Social Visit Pass. The official FAQ does not identify a distinct donor entitlement.

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

The FAQ says SEV stays depend on nationality and MEV entries allow 30 days, without specifying the medical applicant's pass endorsement. Where the patient holds a Short-Term Social Visit Pass, Immigration may consider an extension for illness, supported by evidence and an in-person application; it is not automatic.
