Medical travel deserves careful visa preparation
An Indian Medical Visa is for foreign nationals traveling to India for treatment at recognized hospitals or healthcare centers. India Travel helps patients prepare applications with clear hospital-letter checks, document organization, and practical timing tips.
When health planning is already stressful, visa paperwork should not add confusion. We focus on accuracy, completeness, and a calmer process.
Private assistance only — not a government website. Treatment and visa decisions remain with the relevant authorities and medical providers.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a hospital letter?
Yes — medical applications commonly require confirmation from an Indian hospital or treatment center. We help you check what the letter should cover.
Can a family member travel with me?
Often yes, via a Medical Attendant Visa. We can guide both applications so dates and details stay aligned.
Is this the same as an Ayush visa?
No. Medical visas are generally for hospital/treatment travel. AYUSH wellness and traditional treatment programs may use the Ayush category instead.
