Questions about the trip

Is a visa required?

EU citizens - no. Russia, CIS, most Arab countries - yes (Schengen). UAE - visa-free. We provide an invitation from the clinic.

How many days are needed in Munich?

Minimum 3-4 days. Optimal 5-7 days for comfortable recovery and city sightseeing.

Is it possible to fly immediately after the procedure?

Yes, flying is safe from the 2nd day. We recommend an aisle seat and periodic standing. Better to wait 1-2 days after the procedure.

Is an accompanying person needed?

Not mandatory, but desirable for comfort. The procedure is outpatient; afterward, you can move independently.

How does RegenPAS help organise treatment?

RegenPAS is a patient service centre in Munich, not a clinic. We review your images and symptoms and send a request to several partner clinics at once. Clinics that can accept you send their own conditions and price; prices differ between clinics, and you choose the option that suits you. The coordinator replies within 24 hours, and a clinic physician’s preliminary opinion follows in 1–3 business days. We then arrange the appointment, visa invitation, interpreter, transfers and accommodation. Treatment decisions are made by the clinic physician. Contact a coordinator.

What is needed for a preliminary assessment?

Your MRI (or CT, X-ray) report and the images if you have them, plus a short description of your symptoms and previous treatment. Send them via the form on the website — the assessment is free and without obligation: the coordinator replies within 24 hours, and the clinic physician’s preliminary opinion follows in 1–3 business days.

How much does treatment cost and how long do I need to stay in Munich?

The cost depends on the method, the diagnostics needed and the clinic itself: prices differ between clinics. We request offers from several clinics and send you their conditions and quotes so you can compare. Price guidance is on the treatment cost page. For an outpatient procedure, 2–3 days in Munich are usually enough: examination, procedure and follow-up visit.
