The Government of India offers a separate e-Medical visa category for travellers coming specifically for medical treatment, alongside e-Business, e-Conference and e-Ayush categories, all applied for online. This page gives general orientation only — the current eligibility rules, required documents and process should be confirmed on the official government visa portal, not treated as legal advice from us.
This is not legal or immigration advice
We are a travel operator, not an immigration lawyer or a government agency. Visa categories, eligibility and required documents are set by the Government of India and can change — confirm the exact, current requirements for your situation on the official visa portal before applying or booking travel. (confirmed on enquiry)
What we understand, as general orientation
- The Government of India offers an e-Medical visa category specifically for travellers coming for medical treatment, separate from the standard tourist e-Visa.
- Related categories exist for accompanying persons and for other purposes (e-Business, e-Conference, e-Ayush) — the correct category depends on your specific purpose and situation.
- Applications are submitted online, directly with the government, not through a travel operator.
What we help with
We can point you to the official government portal and, in general terms, to which visa category sounds relevant to your situation — but the application itself, its documents and its outcome are entirely between you and the Government of India. We do not process medical visas on your behalf and do not charge a fee for this general orientation.
Frequently asked questions
What visa do I need for medical treatment in India?
The Government of India offers an e-Medical visa category for this purpose specifically; confirm current eligibility and required documents on the official visa portal, as requirements can change. (confirmed on enquiry)
Can a family member travelling with me get the same visa category?
There are related categories for accompanying persons in some cases; confirm the current specific rule on the official government portal for your situation.
Do you process the visa application for me?
No — applications are submitted online, directly with the government. We can point you to the portal and the likely relevant category, but the application itself is yours to complete.
Is there a fee for your guidance on this?
No — this is general orientation, not a paid service, and we do not charge a fee on top of the government's own visa fee.
