Visa, Flights & Travel Essentials for British Patients
- British patients travelling to Delhi for treatment apply for an Indian medical e-Visa online before departure and fly into Delhi (DEL) from London or Manchester.
The e-Visa is applied for through the official Indian government portal, and you should pack your medical records, current medications, and a copy of your treatment plan alongside the usual travel documents.
What Visa Do British Patients Need for Dental Treatment in India?
The Indian medical e-Visa is the category intended for travel for medical treatment, applied for online ahead of time rather than on arrival. Two arrangements need to be in place before travel, the visa itself and your flights into Delhi (DEL), the destination for both our clinics, Greater Kailash (GK) and Netaji Subhash Place (NSP). We do not treat from Mumbai.
We do not process your visa or book your flights on your behalf, those remain yours to arrange, but your coordinator can provide a letter and your treatment plan to support the visa application, and confirm appointment dates so you can plan travel around them.
Questions about this procedure?
Which British Cities Have Flights to Delhi?
Flights connect to Delhi (DEL) from London and Manchester. Before booking, confirm your treatment dates with your coordinator, apply for the Indian medical e-Visa online, request any supporting documents in advance, and confirm current routes and durations with your airline, as schedules change seasonally.
1. Confirm your treatment dates. Your coordinator confirms your assessment and surgery window so you can book travel around fixed appointments.
2. Apply for the Indian medical e-Visa. Apply online through the official Indian government e-Visa portal. The medical category is the appropriate one for travel for treatment. Allow processing time before departure.
3. Provide supporting documents if requested. A medical e-Visa application may ask for a supporting letter from the treating clinic. Request this from your coordinator in advance.
4. Book flights into Delhi (DEL). Routes connect from London and Manchester.
5. Arrange accommodation near your clinic. Confirm with your coordinator whether your appointments are at GK or NSP, and choose accommodation accordingly.
6. Pack your documents and medications (see the checklist below).
