e-Medical and e-Medical Attendant visas
India's official portal lists an e-Medical Visa for patients and an e-Medical Attendant Visa for people travelling with them. The Government of India says the facility has been extended to nationals of 171 countries (PIB, August 2025).
Eligibility and fees vary by nationality. If your country is not eligible for the e-Visa, you apply for a regular Medical visa through the Indian embassy, high commission or its appointed visa centre.

Many Indian hospitals with international patient desks also provide interpreters; ask the hospital directly.
Partner coordinators
Clients in some countries may also be served through independent partner coordinators abroad. They are separate companies.
