Treatment in India from Nigeria

Your Visa for India

Nigeria is not on India's published list of countries that can use the e-Medical Visa, so you will almost certainly have to apply in person at an Indian embassy or consulate. That takes longer and needs more documents than the online route. India's own lists are not always complete, so confirm with the Indian mission for Nigeria before you plan anything around it - and start early either way.

Nobody can sell you this visa. Only the Government of India decides it, and no agent, hospital or facilitator can promise you one.

Family members who travel with you can apply for e-Medical Attendant visas. Up to 2 e-Medical Attendant visas can be granted for one e-Medical visa.

Yellow Fever Certificate

If you are travelling from Nigeria, India requires a yellow fever vaccination certificate. This is a rule about where you are flying from, not about your passport: India asks for the certificate from anyone arriving within 6 days of leaving a yellow fever country, including a stop in transit. Travellers who arrive without one can be kept in quarantine for up to 6 days.

How We Work

We ask 2 or 3 accredited hospitals in India for a written quote, and we tell you which hospitals we intend to ask before we approach anyone. You see the quotes side by side, and you choose. You pay the hospital directly, into the hospital's own account, and you pay India Medical Cart nothing.

Please do not send medical reports by WhatsApp or email. We send you a private link that expires. Read how to send your medical reports.
