e-Medical Visa

The e-Medical Visa is an electronic authorization specifically created for foreign nationals traveling to India to seek medical treatment, including procedures under traditional Indian systems of medicine. This visa category recognizes the growing importance of India as a global destination for high-quality, accessible healthcare. It provides a structured and efficient pathway for patients to travel for consultations, surgeries, or other medical interventions, ensuring that the necessary legal permissions are in place before their arrival at an Indian medical facility.

The application fee for the e-Medical Visa is fixed at USD 75. To qualify, applicants must hold a passport valid for at least six months from the date of arrival and must provide an official medical visa letter from a recognized hospital in India. This letter is critical as it confirms the patient's admission, the nature of the treatment, and the estimated duration of their stay. The visa is typically issued as a triple-entry permit, allowing for necessary travel related to the treatment plan. It is also extendable on a case-by-case basis by the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO) if the medical condition requires a longer stay.
