Yes. To seek medical treatment in the United States, you will need to apply for a B-2 tourist visa at your local U.S. embassy or consulate.
You will also need to answer questions about:
Your medical situation:
Treatment options available in your home country,
The treatment you are seeking in the United States,
Your doctors, hospitals, tests, procedures, medications, medical conditions, and potential treatments in the future,
How much your treatment costs?, and
Who will pay for the treatment?
Your plans to stay in the United States for a temporary and specified period. Your binding ties and intentions to return home and more. Additionally, you may be asked to provide proof of your medical condition and your ability to pay for treatment – even if your doctor waives certain fees for humanitarian reasons. If you are facing an urgent medical condition, you cannot risk having your visa application denied, so you should contact a humanitarian relief attorney for help. Consider seeking a lawyer in the city you wish to retain treatment.
