Before the journey Visa It is necessary to apply for a visa before travelling to China. Remember to bring a passport picture together with the visa application form. It is also necessary to bring an invitation from the hospital, but we will arrange for that.

Vaccination It is recommended to get a vaccination against the infectious Hepatitis A before travelling to China. It is not necessary with other kinds of vaccination for travelling in the area around Beijing. Payment When you come to Tianjin, we will go to Bank of China and open a new account. It is a personal account and it is only possible to transfer US Dollars into this account. Bank of China will make a cash card, with a 6 number PIN code. This cash card is possible to use as a credit card in nearly all shops in Tianjin and in all cash machines. Airplane ticket We can help to book an airplane ticket to Beijing, and we will always try to find the best and cheapest way. It is not easy to say when the treatment at the hospital will finish; therefore it is very important to book a ticket where it is possible to change the return travel (a flexible one). Rebooking an airplane ticket will normally cost about 100 USD or 100 Euro, dispense on the airplane company. Airplane companies After the ticket has been booked, it is possible to check it all at www.checkmytrip.com Travel insurance It is always advisable to have travel insurance when you travel to China, but as a cancer patient it can be very difficult to get one. The best solution is to talk with that insurance company you normally use. Some travel insurance companies can make insurance for cancer patients, if the doctor sends the company documentation about the patient´s condition. Responsibility It is not possible to guarantee the successful result of the treatment, and we cannot hold responsibility for this. There is not much documentation about the treatment in China, and there are cases where the doctors cannot get a satisfactory result. But there are also a lot patients who have lived much longer after the treatment than expected or got cured of cancer.
