Guiding your medical visa needs

What is a medical visa

A medical visa for India is specifically designed for foreign nationals seeking medical treatment. This visa is applicable for a wide range of treatments and unlike tourist visas, is granted based on the applicant's need for significant medical procedures. Applicants must provide proof of their medical condition, a treatment plan, and a letter from a recognized medical institution in India confirming their appointment or treatment plan.

Additionally, they must show evidence of financial stability to cover medical and living expenses during their stay. This visa typically allows for multiple entries and a longer stay in India compared to a tourist visa, ensuring patients have enough time for their treatment and recovery.

What you will need to apply for your medical visa

A valid South African passport with at least 6 months validity and two blank pages

Recent passport-sized photographs with a white background

Details of your travel arrangements & accommodation in India

A medical letter from the Indian medical institution detailing your treatment

A recommendation letter from your doctor in South Africa

Proof of financial capability to cover medical expenses

Our customers love our service

I came down with a disease and it an abdominal mass where I lost my period for about a year. And then (experienced) weakness, tiredness from this illness. So I got my surgery done at Akash Hospital in India and I'm a living testimony. I feel much better and grateful to the Akash family for that surgery and I'm grateful to them for saving my life. So if you are out there and you experience anything like this, I want you to (consider) Akash Hospital to get your surgery done.

Tumour Removal

I had a problem with my left knee, (it was) bending (incorrectly). When I come to India they treated me at Akash Hospital. I will say thank you doctor. Now I can walk, my knee is straight, before it was bending and I feel better now, much better than before. I will say thank you to the doctor as well and all of the hospital staff on the day of the operation, nurses everything. I will say thank you and I'll appreciate it. I'm happy. Very happy. Thank you very much.

Knee Operation

I was diagnosed with a heart attack in Malawi and I was hospitalized there for a few days. I was really pretty bad that I was failing to even walk on my own. On arrival here in Delhi, (at) the Aakash Hospital, I was immediately admitted and reviewed by doctors. I really appreciate the tremendous work that has been done here, especially Dr. Ashish Agarwal and his team. (They) have been very, very supportive, all of them. I don't take it lightly. Other people who are seeking medical help (should) come forward to this hospital. On my own behalf, I'm very, very satisfied.
