Recently, when I talked with some friends about the "visa for medical treatment and residence in Japan", I found that there are some errors in perceptions due to different sources of information in various ways, and these understandings may be wrong.

Simply big housekeeper carefully sorted out, based on the problems that arose in yesterday's exchange, write a due understanding of it, I hope it can help more people.

Selecting an organization

When we choose an organization, we must know whether the organization you pick meets the qualification audit regulations of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan, that is, whether it has the ability to present the body gen commitment for the applicant.

All of such organizations are in Japan, but they do the business of negotiating with foreigners, so you should look for them from Japan.

Scope of application

The scope of application for "medical treatment and residence visa to Japan" is not necessarily limited to hospitals, but can also include health check-ups, spa treatments, medical consultations, oral treatments, etc., as this visa is issued to foreign applicants and accompanying persons who must stay in Japan for "medical treatment + recuperation". The visa is issued to foreign applicants and their accompanying persons who must stay in Japan for "medical treatment + recuperation".

Seeing this, some friends may say, if I choose a 3-year or 5-year multiple-entry self-guided visa, I can stay for 30 days at a time, which is enough, right? There is no need to go through all the trouble of applying for a medical visa.

You are right, but in terms of specific appointments and treatment, it is possible that a self-guided visa is much worse than a medical visa, so here is the spacing.

Length of stay

The maximum period of stay is 90 days for "medical treatment and residence visa to Japan", and you can apply to the Immigration Bureau to increase it according to the quality condition, but not for tourist visa. Next time you will come or visa extension hong kong not, as this is all illegal.

Refusal of medical treatment

In Japan, any kind of visa has a clear purpose, that is, which visa you hold can only do what, that is, if you are holding a tourist visa to see a doctor in Japan, if it involves the assumption of a medical condition and the implementation of a medical progress plan, Japanese hospitals will refuse to see you as long as there is a risk of a long stay.

Visa refusal status

We cannot say that it is not possible, but we can only say that there is a high risk of refusal.

If you apply for any of the above visas, it is impossible to tell the purpose of going to Japan for medical treatment, and if you do, the visa will either be rejected (you will be asked to apply for medical treatment) or refused due to problems with the documents prepared.

If you apply for a medical visa directly, there is almost no chance of rejection, provided that you provide your past medical records, a description of the basic consultation at the Japanese hospital and a specific medical treatment plan for your trip to Japan, plus a "body yuan commitment letter" from a qualified medical institution and contracting agency, the rejection is almost zero.

So, what are the advantages of applying for a "medical treatment and residence visa to Japan" compared to a tourist, business visa, or visiting family and friends visa?

Frequency of return

According to the difference of Japan, the "medical treatment and residence visa to Japan" has such a division in terms of visa validity and frequency of return, a medical treatment, the maximum stay of 90 days, if necessary, can be increased by 90 days; 1 year multiple return visa and 3 years multiple return visa.

Generally speaking, for those who have both the purpose of consultation and treatment, it is almost always a 1-year multiple-entry visa.

Ability to have an accompanying person

It is important to be able to bring an accompanying person (visa validity is the same as the applicant's) because there are applicants who cannot go to Japan independently for various reasons.

In addition, the accompanying visa can be issued to both relatives and those who do not have any accompanying person other than relatives.

Duration of stay

If a multiple-entry visa is granted, the maximum length of stay is 90 days at a time. If there is an important need to stay beyond 90 days at a time (such as medical treatment, implementation of treatment, cycle, change of condition, etc.), a request for an additional period of stay must be made on the condition that the applicant has already been hospitalized.
