The India Medical eVisa is an official electronic travel authorization designed specifically for international visitors seeking medical treatment in India.

This entirely online application process allows travelers to conveniently secure permission to enter the country for health purposes, without the need for a physical embassy visit.

Known officially as the "Indian e-Medical Visa," it is a streamlined solution for accessing India's renowned medical facilities and services.

Visa-exempt: Who doesn't need to apply for India Medical eVisa?

There are a few specific cases where individuals are exempt from applying for the India Medical e-Visa:

• Nationals of Bhutan and Nepal: These individuals do not require visas or passports to enter and stay in India, and there is no limit on the duration of their stay. However, they should not transit through mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, or Pakistan before entering India.

• Overseas Citizens of India and persons of Indian Origin Cardholders: These individuals are exempt from visa requirements and can live and work in India without any time limit. This policy does not apply to Bangladeshi and Pakistani nationals.

• Nationals of the Maldives: Since March 1979, Maldivian nationals have been able to enter India without a visa for up to 90 days.

For those not covered by these exemptions, the India Medical e-Visa is required for medical-related travel to India.

Do children also require the India Medical eVisa?

Yes, children also require the India Medical eVisa if they are traveling to India for medical purposes. Every minor must have their own eVisa regardless of age, and their legal guardians must apply for it.

When applying for a minor, guardians need to provide additional documents, such as copies of the minor's birth certificate and a consent letter signed by both parents or legal guardians.

These documents are necessary to confirm the relationship between the child and the guardians, ensuring all legal requirements are met for the child's travel to India.

India Medical eVisa validity: How long can I stay in India?

The India Medical eVisa is a multiple-entry visa that allows the holder to enter India up to three times. Each entry permits a stay of up to 60 days in total from the date of arrival in India. The visa itself must be used within 120 days from the date of issuance, meaning travelers must enter India within this period for the visa to remain valid.

Key points to remember about the India Medical eVisa include:

• Multiple entries: This visa allows up to three separate entries into India.

• Maximum stay: Each entry allows a 60-day stay in the country.

• Visa validity: Must enter India within 120 days from the issuance of the visa.

• Type of entry: It is a multiple-entry visa, ideal for patients needing follow-up visits.

These terms ensure travelers can plan their medical visits accordingly, with enough flexibility for multiple consultations or treatment sessions within a two-month period per visit.

Can I extend my India Medical eVisa?

The India Medical eVisa typically cannot be extended. Travelers must plan their medical treatment within the stipulated duration of each visit, which is up to 60 days per entry.

In exceptional cases, an extension may be considered by the local FRRO (Foreigners Regional Registration Office) based on medical advisories or serious health conditions.
