What is an India EMedical Visa?

An India EMedical Visa is an electronic visa that allows foreign nationals to enter India for the sole purpose of seeking medical treatment. It is a convenient and faster alternative to the traditional paper visa application process.

Foreign nationals from eligible countries who require medical treatment in India can apply for this visa. This includes treatment under allopathic, homeopathic, and Indian systems of medicine (Ayurveda, Yoga, Unani, Siddha, and Naturopathy).

  • The Foreigners Act, 1946: This act broadly governs the entry, stay, movement, and departure of foreigners in India.
  • The Passport (Entry into India) Act, 1920: Regulates the entry of people into India and requires valid passports along with any necessary visas.
  • The Passport (Entry into India) Rules, 1950: Elaborate on the requirements for obtaining various types of visas, including medical visas, for India.

Please note that E-Visas may only be used for arrival at the following airports and seaports:
