Non-Immigrant Visas

Visas for Medical Treatment

The United States does not offer a visa specifically designated for medical treatment. Any applicant who wishes to receive medical treatment in the US must qualify for a B2 tourist visa. In addition, all applicants requesting visas to go to the United States for medical treatment must provide all of the following at the time of their visa interview:

• Proof that they have a treatable medical condition for which they have received medical treatment in Bangladesh and elsewhere in the past

• Documentation from a medical-care professional or establishment (doctor, hospital, etc.) in the United States which is willing and capable of providing the required medical treatment

• An original letter from the doctor/medical facility stating the time and cost required to provide such treatment

• Evidence that the applicant has access to sufficient funds to cover the full costs of the required medical treatment as well as all costs associated with their stay in the United States

Note: By signing the visa application form you are certifying that all the information contained in it is true and correct. If you misrepresent any facts, you could be barred from entering the United States. Please double-check that all your answers are accurate and that every question is answered completely. Please inquire with the staff in the Consular Section if you do not understand any of the questions on the application form.
