Getting a Medical Visa shouldn't be the hardest part of your treatment. We prepare your Hospital Invitation Letter, guide you through every document, and stay with you through approval — free, as part of your care coordination.
A Medical Visa — often called the India Medical Visa or MED Visa — is the visa category the Government of India issues to international patients whose sole purpose of travel is medical treatment at a recognised hospital. Because navigating medical visa paperwork alone can be confusing, our medical visa assistance service handles the entire process for you: the hospital invitation letter, the supporting documents, the attendant visa for a companion, and the follow-up once you land. This medical visa assistance is never billed separately — it's built into how we coordinate every patient's medical treatment in India, from a first specialist opinion to discharge.
Whether you're travelling for cardiac surgery, cancer treatment, an organ transplant, joint replacement, or another procedure, our patient coordinators work with your chosen hospital in India to make sure your Medical Visa application is ready well before your travel date. Read more about how we support international patients on our About Us page, or contact us to start your visa assistance today.
Three related categories cover almost every international patient — your coordinator confirms exactly which one applies to you.
The primary Medical Visa, granted to the patient travelling for treatment at a recognised hospital or treatment centre in India. It requires a hospital invitation letter and supporting medical documentation, and is typically issued for the expected duration of treatment.
A linked visa for up to two attendants — usually blood relatives — accompanying the patient. It's co-terminus with the patient's Medical Visa, so validity and travel dates match.
An electronic Medical Visa available to eligible nationalities for faster processing online. It's issued for a set validity from arrival, with up to two e-Medical Attendant Visas permitted per applicant.
Travelling for traditional medicine instead? Patients visiting for Ayurveda and wellness treatment may apply under a separate AYUSH visa category — ask your coordinator which route fits your case.
