Cardinal Rule: Confirm your treatment direction and the receiving hospital's acceptance intent FIRST — only then start your visa application, flight booking and travel plan for China. Never book flights blindly.
Medical Trip to China: Visa, Travel & On-Arrival Support Guide
Blind travel without a medical indication is strictly prohibited. Only after the Class-A tertiary expert panel of the national regional medical center has reviewed your original medical records and confirmed the hospital's acceptance intent and treatment direction will MedTravel China jointly issue the official letter documents that build a compliant, transparent, seamlessly coordinated cross-border logistics network for you and your family.
Department-head specialists at Class-A tertiary hospitals review your DICOM imaging and pathology reports to confirm the clinical value of treatment in China.
Receive the tertiary hospital's treatment recommendation letter and jointly prepare your S2 medical visa documents for submission to the consulate.
Once the visa is issued, book round-trip flights and arrange wheelchair-accessible business van pickup plus designated foreign-guest apartment lodging.
China Medical Tourism Visa: Support Scope & Legal Boundaries
Cross-border medical treatment falls under the entry-exit administration of sovereign states. MedTravel China works on rigorous, neutral and transparent principles: we help you prepare truthful, compliant supporting letters — and never fabricated documents.
Which Visa Category Applies
For treatment at a licensed public Class-A tertiary hospital in China, patients typically apply for an S2 medical visa (medical treatment visa) — a short-term private-affairs visa covering treatment and caregiving — or a visit visa annotated for medical treatment.
Chinese embassies and consulates abroad generally allow only 1–2 immediate family members (spouse, parents or children) to apply for China entry visas alongside the patient as accompanying caregivers.
Documents the Platform Helps Prepare

- check_circle Issue a Patient Cross-Border Treatment Itinerary & Reception Confirmation Letter (bilingual Chinese–English)
- check_circle Item-by-item review of submission checklists and form guidance for overseas embassies/consulates and visa application centers
Legal Boundaries & Sovereign Authority
The power to grant visas rests entirely with the sovereign decision of the diplomatic missions of the People's Republic of China abroad (embassies and consulates).
Pre-Arrival Prep & Hospital Logistics Support
We remove language barriers, city unfamiliarity and daily care errands so patients and their families can focus entirely on recovery itself.

Border Pickup & In-City Medical Transfer
We connect arrivals at Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (CAN), Guangzhou South Railway Station, or the Hong Kong / Shenzhen crossings for smooth, end-to-end, cross-region transfers.
Designated Foreign-Guest Lodging Nearby
For patients who need 2–4 week stays between chemotherapy cycles, proton & heavy-ion therapy, or post-orthopedic rehabilitation, we point you to quiet, compliant lodging near the hospital.
- check Curated hygienic serviced apartments within a 10-minute walk or 5-minute drive of the tertiary hospital
- check Independent kitchen facilities, so family can cook nutritious liquid meals for seriously ill patients
