Indian Medical Visa for Iraq Citizens
An Iraqi patient needs the regular medical visa, which is issued on paper by the Embassy of India in Baghdad. The Government of India's e-Visa list does not include Iraq, which rules out the e-Medical visa. Jivo obtains the hospital's invitation letters, which the patient submits with the application.
