Medical Visa to India from Nigeria
AYUSH (AY) Visa is specifically designed for foreign nationals seeking medical treatment in India through AYUSH systems or other traditional Indian forms of medicine. This includes those pursuing therapeutic care and wellness treatments rooted in traditional practices.
To apply for an AY Visa, applicants must submit a medical invitation letter from a recognized AYUSH institution, along with relevant medical history documents justifying the need for treatment. Attendants or family members accompanying the patient can apply for an AYUSH-2 (AY-2) Visa.
