Process e-Visa InstantlyThe Indian Medical Visa allows Vietnamese citizens to enter India for receiving medical treatment at recognized Indian hospitals including surgery, organ transplants, and specialized procedures. This visa category offers 60-day (triple entry) with triple entry privileges. Vietnamese passport holders are eligible to apply online through India's e-Visa portal, eliminating the need to visit the Embassy of India in Hanoi. Up to two accompanying persons can apply for Medical Attendant visas linked to the primary medical visa holder. The hospital letter must be from a recognized institution and specify the estimated treatment duration.
Vietnamese citizens must prepare the following documents before starting their application: 1. Valid passport (6+ months validity, 2 blank pages) 2. Recent passport-sized photo (white background) 3. Letter from Indian hospital confirming treatment plan 4. Medical diagnosis documents from home country 5. Proof of sufficient funds for treatment and stay 6. Doctor referral letter All documents must be in English or accompanied by certified English translations. Vietnamese passport holders should ensure their passport has at least six months of validity from the intended date of arrival in India. The hospital letter is the most critical document — it must be on the hospital's official letterhead and clearly state the proposed treatment, expected duration, and estimated cost.
The standard e-Visa fee for Vietnamese citizens is approximately 2500000 VND (VND). This covers the government processing fee for the Medical Visa category. Fees are in VND. Vietnamese Visa/Mastercard credit cards from Vietcombank, BIDV, and Techcombank work. MoMo, ZaloPay, and VNPay are not accepted. Ensure international online payment is enabled through your bank's app or branch. Additional service charges may apply depending on the processing speed selected. Fee structures are set by the Indian government and are subject to periodic revision. It is advisable to check the official portal for the most current fee at the time of application. Fees are non-refundable once the application is submitted, regardless of whether the visa is approved or denied.
The Medical Visa application for Vietnamese citizens follows these steps: 1. Visit the official Indian e-Visa portal and select "Medical Visa" as the visa category. 2. Fill in personal details, passport information, and travel itinerary. 3. Upload your passport scan and photograph meeting Indian specifications. 4. Review all information carefully for accuracy. 5. Submit payment of 2500000 VND via credit or debit card. 6. Receive confirmation and tracking number via email. 7. Download your Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) once approved. Standard processing takes 72 to 96 hours (expedited processing available). Apply at least 4-7 business days before your planned departure from Vietnam to account for any delays. The ETA is electronically linked to your passport number — carry a printed copy for reference at immigration.
Vietnamese citizens holding an Indian Medical Visa are permitted to stay for a maximum of 60 days during each visit. This stay limit applies to all nationalities equally for the Medical Visa category. Overstaying your visa is a serious immigration violation that can result in fines, detention, and future visa denials. With triple entry, you may enter India up to three times during the visa validity period.
India is within a few hours of Vietnam time, with IST (UTC+5:30) being close to UTC+7 (ICT). This means Indian business hours largely overlap with Vietnamese business hours, making real-time communication with Indian visa support straightforward. VietJet and IndiGo operate direct flights from Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City to Delhi and Mumbai. Flight time is approximately 5 hours. Connections through Bangkok or Singapore are also available. Upon arrival in India, Vietnamese citizens should proceed to the e-Visa immigration counter (separate from regular visa lines) at the airport. Have your printed ETA, passport, and return ticket ready. Immigration processing typically takes 15-30 minutes. India uses the metric system, drives on the left side of the road, and the local currency is the Indian Rupee (INR). For medical visa holders, many hospitals offer airport pickup services — confirm this with your treating hospital before departure.
Vietnamese applicants sometimes enter their Căn Cước Công Dân (citizen identity card) number instead of the passport number. Vietnamese names follow a specific order (family name first) — ensure the application matches the passport's machine-readable zone exactly. Other frequent errors that affect Vietnamese applicants include: applying too close to the travel date (allow at least 4-7 days), uploading compressed or cropped passport scans that obscure the machine-readable zone, and providing inconsistent information between the application form and passport. Medical visa applicants should ensure the hospital name in the application exactly matches the name on the hospital letter. Discrepancies between the two documents cause delays. Double-check every field before submission — corrections after submission are not possible.
Depending on your travel purpose, Vietnamese citizens may also consider other Indian e-Visa categories: [Tourist Visa](/guide/india-tourist-visa-for-vietnamese-citizens), [Business Visa](/guide/india-business-visa-for-vietnamese-citizens), [Conference Visa](/guide/india-conference-visa-for-vietnamese-citizens), [eMedical Attendant Visa](/guide/india-medical-attendant-visa-for-vietnamese-citizens). Each visa type has specific eligibility criteria, documentation requirements, and stay limits. Vietnam and India share ancient trade and cultural connections through the Champa civilization, which was heavily influenced by Hindu and Buddhist Indian culture. Vietnamese travelers visit India for Buddhist pilgrimage circuits, medical treatment, and IT sector business. Choosing the correct visa category is essential — applying under the wrong category leads to rejection and loss of the non-refundable application fee.
