About Medical Companion Visa to India
Medical Companion Visa to India, officially called Indian e-Medical Attendant Visa, is an electronic visa issued online by Indian authorities. The visa is intended for family members, dependents, or other companions traveling with a patient who has been granted an Indian Medical Visa for treatment in India.
The visa can only be granted if the patient has already obtained an Indian Medical Visa. The purpose of the visa is to provide support and assistance to the patient during their stay in India.
The visa must be approved before departure and is linked electronically to your passport. Upon approval, you will receive an electronic travel authorization to be presented upon arrival in India. Despite the fact that the visa is electronic, airline check-in staff often require a printed copy of the visa approval before you are allowed to board the flight. We therefore recommend that you always carry a printed copy of your approved visa with you when you travel to India.
The Medical Companion Visa to India is valid for 1 year from the first day of entry and entitles the holder to multiple entries during the period of validity. The visa is not extendable and cannot be converted to another visa category after arrival in India.
You will need the following documents to apply:
- Completed visa application
- Copy of passport information page
- The passport must be valid at least 6 months after the date of entry
- Visa photo
- Patient's Medical Visa Details
- Documentation proving the connection to the patient or the medical journey
India can change visa rules and document requirements at short notice. It is therefore important to check the current rules before submitting the application.
