⚠️Common Reasons India e-Medical Visa Applications Are Refused6
- !Lack of genuine medical documentation — no letter from the treating Indian hospital / no credible treatment details, or a condition or treatment plan that cannot be evidenced.
- !Document or photograph scan failures and passport-data mismatches — exact-match automated rejection on any discrepancy in name, passport number or date of birth.
- !An ineligible passport — a non-ordinary travel document, or under six months’ validity or without blank pages.
- !Wrong category — using the e-Medical visa for tourism, or for an accompanying attendant (who needs the separate e-Medical Attendant visa), or for treatment better suited to a regular paper Medical visa.
- !Pakistani nationality or Pakistani origin (parent, grandparent or spouse, or birth in Pakistan), an adverse security check, or an undisclosed criminal record.
- !An already-active Indian visa for the same period, or a prior overstay / deportation / blacklisting.
Refusal grounds are at the discretion of the deciding officer and can change. This list is informational — always verify current requirements at the official government portal.
