Who needs an e-Medical visa?
Foreign nationals travelling to India mainly for medical treatment apply for an e-Medical visa. Family members or companions who travel with the patient apply for an e-Medical Attendant visa. India offers these online visas to citizens of 171 countries.
Documents usually needed
- A passport valid for at least six months from your arrival date, with blank pages
- A recent passport-size photo with a plain white background
- A letter from the Indian hospital confirming your treatment (we arrange this for you)
- For attendants: their passport and details of the patient they are travelling with
How to apply
- Send us your reports so the hospital can confirm your treatment plan
- We send you the hospital's invitation letter
- Apply online on the official Indian Government e-Visa website and pay the fee
- Your electronic visa arrives by email; print it and carry it when you travel
Important
Apply only through the official Indian Government website: indianvisaonline.gov.in/evisa. Visa rules, fees and durations can change, so always check the official website before applying. If your country is not eligible for an e-Visa, apply for a regular medical visa at the Indian embassy or consulate, and we will still provide the invitation letter.
