Make the patient link clear before you submit
We check the patient details, relationship, travel dates, passport scan, photo, and hospital-letter consistency.
The India Medical Attendant Visa exists for family members or caregivers accompanying a patient travelling for treatment. The most important part is linkage: the attendant file must clearly connect to the patient, hospital, and treatment schedule.
1. Patient Link Is Missing
The attendant application should consistently identify the patient. The patient's name, nationality, passport number, treatment hospital, and travel dates should match the medical visa file and hospital letter.
2. Relationship Is Unclear
If the attendant is a spouse, parent, child, sibling, or close caregiver, the relationship should be written clearly. Do not leave the officer guessing why this person is travelling with the patient.
3. More Than Two Attendants
Official e-Visa guidance says only two e-Medical Attendant Visas are granted against one e-Medical Visa. If more family members travel, they may need a different visa strategy.
4. Dates Do Not Match Treatment
The attendant's arrival date, hotel or hospital city, and length of stay should make sense with the patient's appointment or admission date.
Attendant Checklist
- Patient full name and passport details match hospital letter.
- Attendant relationship is clear.
- No more than two attendants are filed under the patient.
- Travel dates match the patient's treatment plan.
- Attendant passport scan and photo meet requirements.
