Indian Medical Visa for Saudi Arabia Citizens

A Saudi patient files a regular medical visa application, on paper, with the Embassy of India in Riyadh or the Consulate General of India in Jeddah, since Saudi Arabia is not on the e-Visa list. With the chosen hospital, Jivo arranges the invitation letters that the application needs.
