To obtain a medical visa from Bangladesh to India, patients must meet specific requirements and follow a structured application process:
Eligibility for the Medical Visa
- Purpose: The medical visa is intended for those seeking specialized medical treatment in India at recognized hospitals or treatment centers.
- Attendants: Up to two attendants (usually close family members) are allowed to accompany the patient on separate Medical Attendant Visas, which are typically valid for the same duration as the patient’s medical visa.
Required Documents
- Passport: A passport with at least six months of validity and two blank pages.
- Visa Application Form: Completed online visa application form, printed and signed.
- Photographs: Two recent passport-sized photographs with a white background.
- Medical Documents:
- A referral letter from a local hospital in Bangladesh describing the patient’s condition.
- An invitation or confirmation letter from the Indian hospital, detailing the treatment plan, duration, and estimated costs.
- Proof of Financial Means: Evidence of sufficient funds to cover treatment and stay.
- Return Flight Ticket: Proof of return flight or itinerary.
Application Process
- Online Form Submission: Visit the Indian Visa Online portal, complete the Regular Visa Application, and select “Medical Visa.”
- Appointment at Visa Application Center: Schedule an appointment at a Visa Application Center (IVAC) in Bangladesh, where you will submit the application and required documents.
- Biometric Data Submission: Biometric information may be required as part of the visa process.
Visa Fee and Processing Time
- Fee: The medical visa fee can vary; it’s typically paid at the Indian Visa Application Center (IVAC) in Bangladeshi Taka.
- Processing Time: Generally, it takes 3-5 business days to process the visa, though it may vary depending on individual cases.
Extension and Renewal
If the treatment requires an extended stay, the patient can apply for an extension of the visa at the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO) in India, with a letter from the treating hospital stating the medical need for additional time.
