Travelling to India for treatment, from your country

The medicine is only half of a treatment journey. The other half is paperwork, flights, attendants and money. That half changes completely depending on where you are flying from. These guides cover the practical route from a specific country: which visa applies to your nationality, what the hospital invitation letter is for, who can travel with you, how payment works across currencies, and what a family or committee funding the journey needs to see.

Visas as they actually are

Some nationalities apply online for the e-Medical visa; some still need an in-person sticker visa; Nepali citizens need none; OCI cardholders need no medical visa at all. Rules change, so every guide points you at the official portal or mission for the current terms and never pretends we can influence a decision.

Attendants, flights and timing

You plan treatment travel backwards from an admission date, not forwards from a cheap fare. The guides cover realistic routings, who can travel as an attendant on a linked visa, and what to carry in hand luggage (records, imaging and medicines).

How the money actually moves

You pay the hospital directly, on its own invoice, at rates locked in writing before you travel. Where families fund a journey through a committee, a harambee or a relative abroad, we write the documents to be shared with the people paying: verifiable line items, not a single package figure.
