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

This route is the companion side of the same medical-purpose special stay permit: the law grants the permit to the foreign patient 'and to an eventual family companion' who wishes to make use, entirely at their own expense, of the patient's assistance, treatment, rehabilitation or rest at a San Marino healthcare facility.

  • Art. 9(6)
    è rilasciato allo straniero e ad eventuale accompagnatore familiare che intenda usufruire, interamente a proprie spese, di assistenza, cura, riabilitazione o riposo presso l’Ospedale di Stato

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

The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm the hospital or healthcare-provider documentation required.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • Searched Art. 9 Law 118/2010 and all SM extractions for acceptance, appointment, referral, treatment-plan or provider documentation for the medical/companion permit; none stated. Art. 9(6) only names facility types (State Hospital and other San Marino facilities), which is not documentation.

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

The companion's stay, like the patient's treatment, must be entirely at their own expense ('interamente a proprie spese'); the official text does not set out a separate minimum insurance figure for the companion.

  • No separate minimum insurance-cover figure for the family companion is stated in the captured text.
  • Art. 9(6)

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

The law grants the same special stay permit to the foreign patient and to 'an eventual family companion' ('eventuale accompagnatore familiare'); the official text does not define which family relationships qualify as a companion, nor whether more than one companion may be admitted.
