What is a Medical Visa?
A Medical Visa (MED Visa) is a special visa issued by the Government of India for international patients travelling exclusively to receive treatment at recognized hospitals, specialty medical centres or accredited healthcare institutions.
Depending on your treatment plan and nationality, you may also be eligible for an e-Medical Visa for certain types of medical travel. Patients must provide supporting medical records and an invitation or appointment letter from the treating hospital as part of the application process.

Clear Answers to Support Your Healthcare Journey
Get reliable answers to your most important queries about medical care and equipment, all in one convenient place.
Can I receive treatment in India?
Yes. International patients from most countries can travel to India for planned medical treatment. Once we review your reports, we confirm whether the treatment is available and the best hospital for your case.
Do I need a Medical Visa?
Most patients travel on a medical visa, which usually allows an attendant to accompany you. We provide the hospital invitation letter and a documentation checklist for your embassy application.
How much does treatment cost?
Costs depend on your diagnosis, hospital and length of stay. After reviewing your reports we share a written estimate covering treatment, hospital stay and expected extras — with no obligation.
Can my family travel with me?
Yes. Medical attendant visas are generally issued for close family members, and we arrange accommodation and local transport for those travelling with you.
Will AcavaCare arrange accommodation?

Yes — interpreters are available in Arabic, French, Russian, Swahili, Bangla and other languages for consultations, admission and discharge.
