Medical Visa Extension

When the duration of treatment / recovery is more than the patient’s duration of stay in India, a medical visa extension becomes necessary. In order to apply for a medical visa extension the patient or his/her medical attendant has to fetch an official letter from the concerned hospital authorities in which the patient’s medical condition, treatment procedure and the extra time required for the completion of the treatment is mentioned. He/she then has to go to the FRRO office and apply for a medical visa extension by submitting the letter sanctioned by the hospital along with other required documents.
