Temporary Residence Permit - Medical Treatment (Разрешение на временное проживание по лечению)

The Temporary Residence Permit for medical treatment is a specific residency category tailored for foreign nationals who require inpatient care in Belarusian healthcare facilities. This permit is granted for the duration of the necessary medical treatment, up to a maximum of one year. It is designed not only for the patient but also, in certain circumstances, for an accompanying person who provides essential care for the patient's health. This status ensures that foreign citizens can access the necessary medical services within Belarus without the constraints of short-term visa limitations, providing a stable environment for recovery and treatment.

To apply for this permit, the applicant must provide formal documentation from a Belarusian healthcare institution confirming the need for inpatient treatment. The application must be submitted to the local Citizenship and Migration Department at the place where the medical care is being provided. Applicants must also prove they have a place to stay and the financial means to support themselves during the treatment period. The permit is a critical tool for those seeking specialized medical care in Belarus, offering a legal pathway for long-term stay while undergoing medical procedures. As with other TRP categories, the permit is tied to the specific purpose of the stay, and any changes in circumstances must be reported to the migration authorities.
