Hospital invitation
Once a centre accepts the case, it issues the letter the visa application usually requires.
Visa & travel
Paperwork should not delay care.
Patients from many African countries can apply for an Indian e-Medical Visa. Rules, fees, and processing times change. We check the current government requirements for your passport before you apply.
Apply online
The application is made on the official Indian government portal. Many files are processed in a few working days, but this is not guaranteed.
Visa fee
The government fee is often modest compared with treatment — commonly around USD 25–80 depending on nationality and visa type. Confirm before you pay.
Stay length
A medical visa is often issued for 60 days with triple entry. Your doctor’s recovery plan should fit inside that window, or we discuss an extension path early.
One attendant
A companion can usually apply for a medical attendant visa using the same hospital letter. You do not have to travel alone.
We check the file
Passport validity, photo, letter, and return plan — reviewed before submission so small errors do not cost a week.
Flights
We advise dates around admission. You book the ticket in your own name, with an airline you trust.
On landing
Pickup is arranged against your flight number. Keep the coordinator’s WhatsApp available offline.
Where you stay
Before admission, a hotel near the hospital. After discharge, the same area until the doctor clears you to fly.
