Visa guidance for DR Congo passport holders
Confirm your route before applying
Confirm whether passport holders from the DR Congo are eligible for the India e-Visa before applying.
We have not confirmed the current e-Visa position for the DR Congo, so check your own nationality on the Government of India e-Visa portal before starting an application. If the DR Congo appears there, the e-Medical Visa is applied for online and is valid for 365 days from arrival with multiple entries. If it does not appear, a regular medical visa must be applied for through the Indian mission or its authorised visa application centre, which takes longer. Either route requires a letter from the treating hospital in India stating the date or tentative date of admission, so arrange the hospital first. If you tell us your nationality when you enquire, a care advisor will confirm the correct route for you.
We have not been able to confirm this nationality against the Government of India e-Visa portal, so nothing here should be treated as settled. Check your own position on the official portal, or send us an enquiry and a care advisor will confirm the route that applies to your passport before you book anything.
We looked for this nationality on the Government of India e-Visa portal on 22 September 2026 and could not confirm its position. Visa rules change, so confirm before you book travel.

Where to start
Most patients begin by sending their reports for review, then receive hospital options and a written estimate before committing to anything.
Start with a conversation, not a commitment
Tell us what you need and that you are travelling from the DR Congo. A care advisor will come back with hospital options, an indicative estimate and the visa route that applies to your passport.
