What the e-Medical Attendant visa allows
The e-Medical Attendant visa lets you travel to India to support a family member receiving medical treatment. It has the same terms as the patient's e-Medical visa: up to three entries, valid for 60 days from first arrival. It doesn't allow you to work or study in India.
Apply at the same time as the patient
Your application is linked to the patient's e-Medical visa, so the details must match: the patient's name, the hospital and the treatment dates. The simplest way is to apply for everyone together, and we prepare all the applications as one booking.
