Explore the five recorded questions, answers and sources for this pathway.

Official link

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

This route is for a foreign national who is the patient receiving medical treatment in Montenegro; the official source does not address a separate donor role or any other medical purpose.

See recorded sources

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

The applicant must attach a certificate issued by the health institution in Montenegro where the treatment will take place, and that certificate must also state the time needed for the treatment.

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

For the long-stay visa D for medical treatment, three separate items are required: proof of the treatment in Montenegro, proof of having the means to pay for the treatment, and proof of financing living costs, accommodation and the cost of returning to the country of nationality. For the temporary residence permit, the general conditions for any temporary residence permit apply, including means of support, secured accommodation and health insurance (travel health insurance from an authorised insurer, insurance under an international treaty, or insurance in accordance with the law).

Limits of the record
  • The law does not state the form or minimum amount of proof of treatment funds or means of support for this route.

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.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • Searched the Law on Foreigners (Art. 51 medical treatment, visa D medical treatment, Art. 38) for any carer/companion (pratilac, pratnja) provision for medical treatment; none found. Silence, not an explicit exclusion.

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

The permit may be extended for as long as the treatment requires, matching the treatment duration stated in the health institution's certificate. The official source does not state the initial permitted stay.
