A maximum of two e-Medical Attendant Visas may be granted for each patient holding a Medical e-Visa.

Relationship to the Patient

Attendants are usually close relatives or persons responsible for the patient’s care. Indian immigration authorities assess eligibility on a case-by-case basis.

Linked Validity

The e-Medical Attendant Visa is normally issued with the same validity period and number of entries as the patient’s Medical e-Visa.

Validity and Entry Conditions

The e-Medical Attendant Visa is valid for 60 days from the date of first arrival in India.

Application Requirements

Each attendant must submit a separate application and supporting documents, which typically include:

Passport Bio-Page

Patient Visa Details

Important Guidelines

• Non-convertible and generally non-extendable: e-Medical Attendant Visas are normally not extendable or convertible while in India, except in limited cases subject to immigration approval.

• Individual passports required: Each attendant must hold a separate passport. Endorsements on another person’s passport are not accepted under the e-Visa system.

• FRRO registration: Registration with the Foreigners Regional Registration Office is required only if a stay is exceptionally extended beyond standard e-Visa limits.
