Medical Visa
Visas are required for all medical tourists who come to India for medical care. Patients must send our hospital a copy of their passports and the passports of any accompanying people. The patient’s medical visa invitation letter will then be sent via email to them and the closest Indian embassy once the hospital’s International Patient Care staff has received the copies of the passports.
Your name as it appears on your passport with your passport numbers will be included in the visa invitation letter that we prepare for your visa. For the patient and the caretaker, one letter of invitation will be sufficient. When visiting the Indian embassy, international patients are advised to print the document and provide the required documents.
Patients are also requested to remember the date of their appointment at the nearest Indian Embassy. After verification, the Indian embassy will issue a 6-month visa.
