Traveling for treatment rarely happens alone, since a sick relative often needs support close by throughout the process. Recognising this, the Indian e-Medical Attendant visa allows blood relatives to accompany a patient holding an approved medical visa, sharing an identical validity period.

Key points:

• Limited to a maximum of two family members per patient
• Matches the patient's sixty-day validity with triple entry
• Cannot be converted into another visa category or extended
• Requires a passport valid six months with two blank pages
• Two recent photographs, sized 2x2 inches on white background, needed
• Principal patient's visa details must accompany the attendant's application

Approval generally arrives within two to three business days by email, so submitting well before departure helps avoid last-minute travel complications for both patient and companion.
