Introduction to E-Medical Visa
An Indian e-Visa is an electronic travel authorization that simplifies acquiring a visa to visit India. Travelers receive an electronic visa quickly after submitting an online form with their personal and passport information. Nationals of 169 countries are eligible under the e-Visa scheme.
The e-Medical Visa is a short-term visa granted specifically for medical treatment in India. It allows the holder up to three visits to India, and is issued to those seeking treatment in reputable, well-established or specialised hospitals.
The e-Medical Visa covers tourism, visiting friends and relatives, short-term medical treatment, and business visits under India's broader e-Visa authorization framework. Only family members of patients receiving treatment in India are eligible for the Medical Attendant Visa.
