What Is A Medical Visa?

Before proceeding to knowing everything medical visa from Mauritania to India, lets brush up what a medical visa is. We are sure you would know about it already but there’s no harm in getting a few things cleared.

A medical visa is a type of visa issued by a target country to a person from the origin country visiting the target country for treatment purposes. There are various types of medical visas, like:

1. Medical Visa (MED) – This is a visa issued to the international medical travelers for medical consultation or treatment purposes.
2. Medical Attendant Visa (MED-X) – This visa is given to the person accompanying the international patient holding a valid medical visa for support puropses.
3. Medical Escort Visa – It is provided to the medical professional (nurses, doctors or paramedics) accompanying a patient during their travel to India.
4. e-Medical Visa – It is an online facility for eligible countries to streamline the visa application process.

The Medical Visa is a short term Visa and is valid only for 60 days from the date of entry of the visitor into the country, so you would be eligible for it only if you intend to stay for no more than 60 days at one time. It is also a Triple Entry Visa, which means that the holder of the Indian Medical Visa can enter the country three times within the period of its validity, which, as mentioned above, is 60 days.

It might be a short-term Visa but the Medical Visa for India can be obtained three times per year so if you need to come back to the country for your medical treatment after the first 60 days of your stay in the country you can apply for it two more times within one year.

Also, one thing worth noting here is that the countdown for the visa begins from the day of issuance and not from the day of entry into India. If the patient needs a visa extension, they need to produce a medical certificate for the same and submit it to the state department and Foreign Regional Registration Office (FRRO). In such cases, their visa will be extended for an additional year.
