What extra clearance is needed for an organ transplant?

Clearance from both the Law Ministry and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA).

In detail

The document states that organ transplantation cases — kidney, liver and the like — require the necessary clearance from the Law Ministry and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

This is an extra layer beyond the ordinary medical visa, and the critical factor is time. Administrative processes at two ministries take a while, and the application will not proceed without the clearance.

So if a transplant is planned, start this process long before you begin thinking about the visa application. The hospital appointment, the donor's paperwork and the ministry clearances all need to come together.

The specific procedure and the list of papers required for the clearance are not in this High Commission document — you will need to get those from the ministries concerned.
