The Indian medical attendant visa (also known as medical escort visa) is for people accompanying patients seeking medical treatment in the country. The visa is linked with the patient’s medical visa and is valid for the same duration. The Indian embassy can issue it to a maximum of two people accompanying the patient. The e-medical attendant visa is specifically designed for citizens of eligible e-Visa countries, offering a processing time recommended at least four days before travel. Comparatively, the Indian Medical e-visa is often considered a better option due to its convenience, faster processing time, and cost-effectiveness compared to the embassy-processed visa.
