Understanding the Indian medical visa requirements

The Indian Medical e-Visa is an electronic-based travel document that grants access to India to all visitors wishing to receive medical treatment in the country. This document can only be used for medical reasons, and these treatments or procedures must be authorized by a recognized medical center in India.

With the Medical Visa you will have sixty (60) days to stay in India with the chance to visit three (3) times during that period. We know it can be frustrating to obtain your document because of the tedious paperwork, so let us help you.

Pro Tip: "Getting my medical visa through iVisa saved me considerable time. Their system automatically checks for common errors before submission, which helped avoid potential delays."

Step-by-step application process

Our team will help you obtain your document without spending much time on long questionnaires. Complete these simple steps:

  • Fill out our short application form that won't take more than ten minutes to do. Choose the processing time for your service (standard, rush, or super rush)
  • You will have to pay the fees with a credit or debit card
  • Attach the required documents (your scanned passport, the hospital letter, and your passport photo to apply) and submit your request

To apply for the Indian Medical visa with iVisa, make sure you have the next list of items or information ready:
