Medical Visa for India — Step-by-Step Guide (GCC Countries)

Traveling to India for medical treatment requires an Indian Medical Visa or e-Medical Visa. Citizens of GCC nations (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait) can apply online via the official Government of India portal. To apply, you need a valid passport (minimum 6 months validity), a copy of your local medical records, and a formal invitation letter on the hospital letterhead in Kerala. TreatInKerala coordinates directly with the hospital's international desk to generate this visa invitation letter within 24 hours. The e-Medical visa allows triple entry into India and is valid for 60 days, with options for extensions if required for long-term treatments like orthopaedics or oncology.
