What are the rules when applying for a child's medical treatment?

A minor patient must be accompanied by a parent or guardian as medical attendant — this is compulsory.

In detail

The document is explicit: “Minor applicants have to be compulsorily accompanied by parent/guardian as medical attendant.” The word is “compulsorily” — an obligation, not advice.

In practice this means an application for a child's treatment is not one application but two: the child's medical visa (MV) and the guardian's medical attendant visa (MX). Prepare them together.

The hospital's appointment letter must also carry the names and passport details of both the child and the guardian — send both sets of details when you request it.

For the child's identity document, a birth certificate can be used instead of a National ID, since the document lists both as alternatives.
