Patients travelling to India for treatment typically require a medical visa, issued by the Indian government through its embassies, consulates, or the Bureau of Immigration/FRRO. Medsewa does not issue or guarantee visas — that decision rests solely with the relevant Indian authorities — but we can help you understand what documentation is generally required and coordinate the paperwork connected to your treatment.
Practical, non-clinical support around your documentation.
Confirm directly with the relevant authority — these can change and are outside Medsewa's control.
No. Visa applications are submitted by you, directly to the relevant Indian embassy, consulate, or immigration authority. We can help coordinate the hospital-issued documents that often support the application.
Typically a treatment estimate or invitation letter, issued once a hospital has reviewed your case. Requirements vary by consulate, so confirm the exact document with the authority processing your visa.
India offers a Medical Attendant (MX) visa for this purpose in many cases, but eligibility and process are set by the Indian government. Confirm current rules with your nearest embassy or consulate.
