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

This route covers two bases: medical treatment of the applicant (supported by a letter from a registered Serbian health care institution stating the place of treatment and the need for continuous treatment for a certain period) and care (accommodation in a registered social care institution, with a letter from that institution and its work licence).

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

For medical treatment, the required documents are an excerpt from the registry of a health care institution in the Republic of Serbia and a letter by a health care institution stating the place of medical treatment and the need for continuous treatment for a certain period of time. The official source does not state the provider documentation for the care branch.

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

Living costs: proof of subsistence during the planned temporary residence (e.g. salary certificate, or bank funds of at least the Serbian minimum salary for the year). Insurance: proof of health insurance, which may be a health insurance policy, proof of funds covering emergency medical care or chronic disease treatment, or a written guarantee to cover those costs with proof of funds. The official source does not state how treatment costs must be shown.
