  • India Medical eVisa: an electronic visa for Swiss citizens traveling to India for medical treatment at recognized healthcare facilities.

  • India e-Arrival Card: A mandatory digital form that must be completed online within 72 hours before arrival. After submission, travelers receive a QR code for inspection at immigration.

    General India visa requirements for Swiss travelers are:

  • A Switzerland passport valid for at least six months beyond the intended stay
  • Photo
  • Confirmed onward or return travel ticket
