Rules to know before you travel

How long you can stay

The official e-Visa site lists the e-Medical visa as valid for up to one year from arrival, with multiple entries. Always check the dates shown on your e-Visa.

It can’t be extended or changed

An e-Visa can’t be extended or switched to another type of visa once you’re in India, so choose the right one before you travel.

Arrive at an approved airport or seaport

You must enter India through one of the airports or seaports approved for e-Visas. All the main international airports are included, such as Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Goa and Kochi. You can leave from any immigration checkpoint.

Who can’t use an e-Visa

People of Pakistani origin, anyone with a military, police or security background (serving or retired), and holders of diplomatic or official passports must apply for a regular visa instead.

Fill in the e-Arrival card

Before you fly, complete India’s free e-Arrival card online within 72 hours of arrival. It’s arrival information, not a visa. How the e-Arrival card works

No protected areas

An e-Visa isn’t valid for protected, restricted or cantonment areas. Visiting places such as parts of the North East, Sikkim or the Andaman Islands may need a separate permit.

Can’t use an e-Visa?

Pakistani origin, a military or police background, work, journalism or a longer stay all need a regular visa. We help with those too.

The government fee is set by India and depends on your nationality. It isn’t refundable, even if the visa is refused. Our fee is per person and includes checking your documents, fixing your photo and scans, and submitting your application.

No “express” fees. The Indian government doesn’t sell faster e-Visas, so we don’t either. Our job is getting your application right first time.

India e-Medical visa requirements

Along with your passport and photo, you need a letter from the hospital in India on its letterhead. It should give the date or tentative date of your admission and show your name, nationality and passport number, exactly as in your passport.

Travelling with family or a carer

Up to two people can travel with you on e-Medical Attendant visas, linked to your e-Medical visa. Apply for yours first, then theirs. We can handle all the applications together.

Each attendant’s application is linked to your India e-Medical visa, so apply for yours first.

Questions people ask

How many people can come with me on a medical visa?

Up to two attendants can be granted e-Medical Attendant visas against one e-Medical visa.

What must the hospital letter say?

It must be on the hospital’s letterhead and give your admission or treatment date, with your name, nationality and passport number.

How early should I apply?

At least 4 days before you arrive in India, and no more than 120 days before. We recommend applying 2 to 3 weeks ahead in case anything needs correcting.

Is the e-Visa fee refundable if I’m refused?

No. The Government of India’s e-Visa fee pays for processing your application, so it isn’t refunded if the visa is refused or you cancel your trip. That’s why we check everything before you pay it.

Can I apply myself instead of using you?

Yes. You can apply on the official website, indianvisaonline.gov.in, and pay only the government fee. People use us when they want a person to check their eligibility, fix their photo and documents, and handle the form for them so nothing goes wrong.
