- A written confirmation of the applicant’s appointment with the medical doctor in Germany should be provided.
- The estimated duration of the treatment of the applicant’s illness should be stated in the letter from the medical doctor in Germany.
- Proof of advance payment of the medical fee is required.
- If traveling with prescription medication, check with the German Government to ensure the medication is legal in Germany.
