Indian Medical Visa for Iran Citizens
The visa an Iranian patient needs is the regular medical visa, applied for with the Embassy of India in Tehran. Iranian passport holders cannot get the e-Medical visa, as Iran is absent from the e-Visa list. Jivo obtains the hospital's invitation letters for the application.
