In recent years, India has emerged as a leading destination for medical tourism, driven by significant advancements in healthcare infrastructure, internationally accredited hospitals, and highly skilled medical professionals. The country is now recognized among the top wellness and medical tourism markets globally, particularly within the Asia-Pacific region.
To support international patients, the Government of India has streamlined travel procedures through an efficient e-Visa system. Foreign nationals seeking medical treatment can apply for an e-Medical Visa, while accompanying attendants may apply for an e-Medical Attendant Visa. These visas typically allow a stay of up to 60 days and must be applied for online at least four days prior to travel, within a 120-day application window.
Applicants are required to demonstrate a genuine medical purpose, including prior consultation in their home country and a referral for treatment in India. Essential documentation includes a clear scanned copy of the passport bio page and a recent passport-size photograph, submitted as per specified guidelines.
Visa fees vary depending on the applicant’s country of origin and include an additional bank processing charge of approximately 2.5%. All payments must be completed at least four days before travel. Once processed, visa fees are non-refundable, irrespective of approval status. Upon approval, applicants receive an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA), which must be carried during travel. Entry into India is permitted only when the ETA status reflects “Granted.” Biometric verification is conducted upon arrival.
It is important to note that the e-Visa is non-extendable, non-convertible, and may not be valid for travel to certain restricted or protected areas. Travelers arriving from countries affected by yellow fever must carry a valid Yellow Fever Vaccination Certificate, failing which quarantine regulations may apply. For an e-Medical Visa, applicants must also submit a formal invitation letter from a recognized Indian hospital confirming the proposed treatment and admission details. Nationals from specific countries, including Bangladesh and Pakistan, must comply with additional regulatory requirements as per government guidelines.
To facilitate a smooth visa application process, applicants seeking medical visa invitation letters may share their medical reports and passport details via email at info@globexbharat.com. This enables timely coordination with hospitals and ensures proper documentation for visa processing. Globex Bharat Nest Council remains committed to supporting international patients with reliable guidance, seamless coordination, and access to quality healthcare services across India.
