Visa Information

Are you planning to travel abroad for your medical treatment?

Passport is the first and foremost requirement for anyone who wants to travel to another country. If you have passport then comes the Visa, which is a permission request to the country authorities you wish to visit. For patients who travel to other countries for their treatment, a medical visa is a must.

The authorities scrutinize the need and reason of a patient to travel out of his country for medical treatment/ health enhancements. We will issue a Medical Visa Letter for you which will enhance and fasten your medical visa process from the respective embassy. This visa facilitation letter plays a crucial role in getting timely visa approval.

We will also assist you in getting visa for attendant/family members of the patient. Once the process of visa is completed, we will take the rest of the responsibility in making the appropriate arrangements for all your needs.
