The India Medical eVisa (e-Medical Visa) is a digital travel authorization for international travelers seeking short-term medical treatment in India. This includes treatments under specialized hospitals or accredited healthcare centers.

All foreign nationals entering India must also complete the mandatory India e-Arrival Card, which has officially replaced the old paper disembarkation forms.

A valid passport with at least two blank pages (minimum validity: 6 months from arrival date)

Frequently asked questions about the India Medical eVisa

Do I need an eVisa or paper visa for medical treatment in India?

Most travelers are eligible for the India Medical eVisa. However, if you are of Pakistani origin or hold a Diplomatic passport, you must apply for a traditional paper visa through an Indian Embassy.

How many times can I enter India with an e-Medical Visa?

The India Medical eVisa is a triple-entry visa, meaning you can enter the country up to three times within the 60-day validity period of the visa.

How will I receive the India Medical eVisa?

Once approved, your eVisa will be sent to your email. While it is digitally linked to your passport, Indian law requires you to carry a physical printout for verification by immigration officers and hospitals.

If you’ve applied through iVisa, you can find a copy of your visa and e-Arrival card QR code in your dashboard.

Can I bring an attendant with me on a Medical eVisa?

Yes. Up to two family members or close associates can accompany the patient. However, they must apply for a separate Medical Attendant eVisa. The validity of the Attendant Visa will be the same as the Medical eVisa.

How long does India Medical eVisa processing take?

The India Medical eVisa is usually processed in 3-5 days. With iVisa, you can get your India Medical eVisa in as little as 3 days (depending on application details and chosen delivery speed).

We recommend applying at least two weeks before your departure date to account for any unexpected government delays.

What happens if my India Medical eVisa application is denied?

If your application is denied, you typically need to apply for a regular paper visa at an Indian Consulate.

iVisa offers denial protection as an add-on to your application (optional).

What are the most common reasons for an India Medical eVisa application to be denied?

The most common reasons are typos in the passport details or the hospital letter not meeting the specific requirements (such as missing the hospital's letterhead or the patient's full name).

iVisa’s expert review catches any errors to avoid delays and meet all Indian government document requirements before submission.

Can I extend my India Medical eVisa?

In some cases, a Medical eVisa can be extended in India if the treatment requires a longer stay. You must apply for an extension through the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO) in India before your initial 60-day stay expires.

Do I need an Arrival Card for India if I have an eVisa?

Yes, you must complete a mandatory digital e-Arrival Card before your trip.

The old paper disembarkation forms have been phased out; the new digital version is a strict requirement for all foreign passport holders. You must fill this out within 72 hours of your arrival in India. After submission, you will receive a QR code which you must present at the airline boarding gate and to immigration officers upon arrival.

Note: You can apply for both the eVisa and Arrival card at the same time through iVisa.

Can I enter the country at any border with the India Medical eVisa?

As of 2026, the India eVisa is accepted at 51 designated gateways, including 33 international airports (like Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru), 14 seaports, and 4 land borders.
