Introduction to Medical Visa for Indian Treatment

India has become a leading destination for medical tourism due to its world-class healthcare services at affordable prices. Every year, thousands of international patients, including many from Bangladesh, travel to India for medical treatment. The Indian government provides a specific visa called the "Medical Visa" (M-visa) for patients seeking medical care in the country. This visa allows Bangladeshi citizens to receive the treatment they need in India's top hospitals and medical centers.

Steps to Apply for a Medical Visa from Bangladesh

The process of applying for a medical visa to India from Bangladesh is straightforward. Follow these steps to ensure a smooth application:

• Determine the Type of Treatment: Identify the medical treatment or procedure you need, and make sure the hospital in India is accredited to treat your condition.
• Consult the Hospital in India: Before applying for a visa, reach out to the hospital where you plan to receive treatment. They may provide you with the required documents, such as a letter of recommendation or medical certificates.
• Gather Required Documents: The following documents are typically required for a medical visa application:
  • A valid passport with a minimum of 6 months validity
  • A recent passport-sized photograph
  • Proof of medical treatment (doctor’s recommendation or appointment letter)
  • Proof of financial means to cover treatment costs
  • Completed visa application form
• Submit the Application: Submit your application form and documents to the Indian High Commission or Consulate in Bangladesh.
• Wait for Processing: Processing time for medical visas generally takes 3-7 business days, but it may vary based on the specifics of your application.
• Receive Your Visa: Once your visa is approved, you can make travel arrangements and proceed to India for treatment.

Benefits of a Medical Visa

The Medical Visa for India offers several advantages for Bangladeshi patients:

• Multiple Entries: The visa typically allows multiple entries during the treatment process, giving flexibility for follow-up visits if necessary.
• Accompanying Attendants: You can also apply for a Medical Attendant Visa for one or two attendants to accompany you during the treatment.
• Extended Stay: The medical visa allows for a stay of up to 6 months, depending on the treatment duration and approval.
