Urgent Update: Indian Medical Visas for Yemenis Now Issued via Jordan & Oman – What Patients Need to Know

Indian passport and medical visa document with stethoscope, Jordan and Oman flags — Update on Indian medical visas for Yemenis.

1. Introduction

In a significant and urgent update for medical travelers, Indian medical visas for Yemeni nationals are no longer being issued via Sana’a or Djibouti. Due to escalating regional conflicts and the unstable security situation in Yemen, the Indian Embassy in Sana’a has suspended operations, and the Djibouti route is no longer a viable option. As a result, Yemeni patients are now required to apply for their Indian medical visas through nearby countries—Jordan and Oman.

This sudden change has created immense confusion and stress among Yemeni patients and their families, many of whom were already in critical need of treatment. Over the past few weeks, we’ve received a flood of messages from families asking: “Where do we go now?”, “How do we apply?”, and “Is India still an option for our medical needs?”

Many patients, especially those suffering from cancer, heart disease, and neurological disorders, had already secured treatment appointments with top hospitals in India. But with the medical visa offices in Sana’a and Djibouti closed, they were left in limbo—struggling to find alternative ways to get to India for urgent care. Because of the ongoing conflict and limited international access from Yemen, patients are now forced to travel to Jordan or Oman just to submit their visa applications.

At Shifam Health, we’ve seen firsthand how this has affected real families. We’ve helped multiple patients reroute their visa process through the Indian Embassy in Amman, Jordan, and the Indian Embassy in Muscat, Oman, with successful outcomes. But the process isn’t simple—it involves extra costs, travel arrangements, embassy coordination, and clear documentation.

The purpose of this article is simple:
To provide Yemeni patients and caregivers with accurate, updated, and actionable information on how to apply for an Indian medical visa via Jordan and Oman, what documents are required, and how our expert team at Shifam Health can support every step of the way.

If you or a loved one are seeking treatment in India, this guide will walk you through the new visa application routes, estimated timelines, required paperwork, and how to avoid delays or rejections—so you can focus on what matters most: getting the right treatment in time.

Why the Change? – Closure of Indian Visa Processing in Sana’a & Djibouti

To understand this sudden disruption, we need to look at the current geopolitical and administrative landscape that Yemeni patients are facing today.

Over the past several months, patients and their families in Yemen who were preparing to travel for treatment in India began reporting unusual delays and confusion around their Indian medical visa applications. Many reached out to the Indian Embassy in Sana’a, only to find that the medical visa services had been quietly suspended without an official public announcement. Soon after, it became clear that even the alternate visa processing hub in Djibouti had halted medical visa services for Yemeni applicants.

From what we’ve gathered through direct coordination with patients, embassy contacts, and medical liaisons, the closures are likely tied to a combination of regional political instability, administrative safety concerns, and logistical challenges in maintaining regular visa operations in conflict zones.

As someone who works closely with dozens of Yemeni patients every month, I can say that the confusion this caused was overwhelming. Imagine a father who had sold his car to fund his daughter’s cancer treatment in Delhi, only to be told that there’s no longer a functioning Indian visa office in his country. Or a mother who had secured an urgent appointment for her son’s heart surgery in Chennai, now facing the realization that she must cross borders just to begin the visa process.

These aren’t just numbers—they’re people, families, and lives caught in the crossfire of circumstances they didn’t create.

The most painful part is that India remains one of the most preferred destinations for Yemeni patients due to its affordable, high-quality medical treatment, Arabic-speaking care coordinators, and cultural familiarity. But the lack of access to local visa services has created a huge barrier for many who are already dealing with the trauma of illness and war.

Now, to move forward with treatment in India, Yemeni nationals must travel to Jordan or Oman—countries that have functioning Indian embassies and are currently accepting medical visa applications for Yemenis. While this is a workable solution, it brings added challenges:

  • Securing travel permission to exit Yemen
  • Managing extra accommodation costs
  • Navigating unfamiliar embassy systems in foreign countries
  • And most of all, finding trusted assistance to avoid delays or rejections

At Shifam Health, we’ve helped several Yemeni patients re-route their medical visa applications via Amman and Muscat, and while it’s not always easy, it’s entirely possible with the right guidance.

In the next sections, we’ll break down how the new process works, what documents you need, and how to prepare for this new journey—from Yemen to India, via Jordan or Oman.

New Approved Routes for Medical Visa: Jordan and Oman

When the Indian visa offices in Sana’a and Djibouti stopped processing applications for Yemeni nationals, there was immediate panic among patients and their families. People started asking: “Where do we go now? Is there any way left to reach India for treatment?”

Thankfully, there is. After working closely with the Indian medical visa ecosystem for years, we’ve confirmed that two Indian embassies—Amman in Jordan and Muscat in Oman—are now officially accepting and processing medical visa applications for Yemeni patients.

This shift has become the new normal, and over the past few weeks, we’ve already helped multiple families apply through both embassies. Let me break it down for you with some honest insight from the ground.

Option 1: Indian Medical Visa via Amman, Jordan

The Indian Embassy in Amman has become a preferred route, especially for families in northern and central Yemen who can access flights or land transport to Jordan.

Pros:

  • Visa processing is generally faster—most of our patients have received their visas within 4 to 6 working days.
  • Embassy staff in Amman are often responsive and professional.
  • Jordan offers more stable infrastructure and accommodation for longer stays if necessary.

Cons:

  • Travel to Jordan can be expensive, especially from war-torn regions with limited flights or border restrictions.
  • Some patients have reported language barriers and difficulty navigating local transport in Amman.
  • Cost of living and hotel stays are relatively high compared to Oman.

🧾 Real Story: Just last month, we assisted three Yemeni cancer patients—including a young boy and two elderly women—who successfully obtained their Indian medical visas in Amman. One of the families had sold gold jewelry just to afford the journey. With our support in arranging embassy appointments, documents, and follow-up, they were able to travel to India within 10 days.

Option 2: Indian Medical Visa via Muscat, Oman

For many southern Yemeni families, Muscat is becoming the more accessible and affordable option.

Pros:

  • Geographically closer for southern Yemenis (e.g., from Aden, Mukalla, Taiz).
  • Easier and often cheaper travel options, including land border crossings.
  • Arabic is widely spoken, and cultural familiarity eases patient stress.
  • Embassy staff in Muscat are generally supportive, especially when complete documentation is presented.

Cons:

  • Visa processing time can take slightly longer, usually 7 to 10 working days.
  • Muscat’s embassy has a lower daily intake capacity, so early appointment booking is critical.
  • During holidays or national events, processing delays may occur.

🧾 Real Experience: A Yemeni woman from Mukalla, whose daughter needed urgent neurosurgery in Hyderabad, contacted us in desperation. Flights to Jordan were too costly, and she couldn’t afford to wait. We helped her process everything via Oman—including her hotel stay, embassy paperwork, and even airport pickup—and within two weeks, they were on a flight to India.

Which Route Should You Choose?

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. The choice between Jordan and Oman for Indian medical visas depends on:

  • Your location within Yemen
  • Your budget for travel and stay
  • Urgency of your medical treatment
  • Availability of embassy appointment slots

What I can say from experience is this: Both routes are working, and both are helping patients reach India. The key is to act fast, get your documents ready, and seek guidance if you feel overwhelmed.

At Shifam Health, we provide personalized support to help Yemeni patients decide the best visa route based on their situation. Whether it’s booking a hotel in Muscat, finding embassy forms in Arabic, or arranging treatment letters from Indian hospitals—we’re here for every step.

Step-by-Step Medical Visa Process via Jordan and Oman

Once Yemeni patients learn that they can no longer apply for a medical visa to India from Sana’a or Djibouti, their next big question is: “What exactly do I need to do now?”

I’ve had dozens of these conversations over the past few weeks with worried families—some of them calling from hospital beds, others on the road trying to cross borders. It’s not just about paperwork—it’s about helping real people navigate an already difficult time. So here’s a step-by-step guide that we’ve put together based on real cases we’ve supported through Shifam Health, tailored to make this journey smoother for everyone.


A. Common Requirements for Indian Medical Visa (for Yemenis via Jordan or Oman)

Whether you’re applying from Amman or Muscat, these documents are absolutely essential:

  1. Valid Passport – At least 6 months validity from the date of travel.
  2. Medical Treatment Letter from an Indian Hospital – This should be on official letterhead, signed by a doctor, mentioning the patient’s name, condition, and proposed treatment plan.
  3. Visa Application Form – Can be downloaded from the respective Indian embassy website or filled online, depending on embassy procedure.
  4. Proof of Funds – Bank statements, sponsor letters, or remittance slips to prove you can afford treatment and stay in India.
  5. Passport-size Photographs – Usually 2–3 recent color photos (white background, 2×2 inches).
  6. NOC from Yemeni Authorities (if requested) – In some cases, especially for patients traveling alone or minors, a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from Yemeni authorities may be asked for.
  7. Patient’s medical reports (optional but helpful) – Diagnostic reports, test results, or medical history that support the treatment letter.

💡 Tip from experience: Always carry at least two sets of physical copies of your documents, and have soft scans saved on your phone or email—embassies sometimes request quick clarifications.

B. Indian Embassy in Amman, Jordan

Contact & Embassy Details:

  • Location: 24 Al Hidhab Street, Abdoun, Amman, Jordan
  • Phone: +962-6-4622098
  • Email: cons.amman@mea.gov.in
  • Working Days: Sunday to Thursday
  • Timings: 9:30 AM to 12:30 PM (visa submissions)

Submission Process:

  • First, schedule an appointment by calling or emailing the embassy. Walk-ins are not encouraged.
  • Submit your complete application and supporting documents at the consular window.
  • Embassy staff will check your file, and if everything is in order, they’ll issue a collection slip with a tentative pickup date.

Processing Time:
Typically 4–6 working days, although delays can occur if the embassy is handling a high volume of applications.

🧠 Insider Advice:
We always advise patients to double-check the hospital treatment letter. If it’s missing specific diagnosis or doctor signature, the embassy may reject or delay the visa. At Shifam Health, we often coordinate directly with Indian hospitals to issue revised letters within 24 hours.

C. Indian Embassy in Muscat, Oman

Contact & Embassy Details:

  • Location: Jamiat Al Dowal Al Arabiya Street, Diplomatic Area, Al Khuwair, Muscat
  • Phone: +968-24684500
  • Email: cons.muscat@mea.gov.in
  • Working Days: Sunday to Thursday
  • Timings: 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM (visa submissions)

Key Differences from Amman:

  • Processing can take a bit longer—about 7–10 working days.
  • The embassy may ask for additional details if they feel anything is unclear.
  • Arabic is widely understood, which can make communication easier for Yemeni applicants.
  • Appointment slots are limited, so it’s important to plan ahead.

Local Travel Permissions & Entry Notes:

  • Yemeni applicants may need a transit or entry visa to enter Oman, depending on their location and travel route.
  • Some patients choose land routes to Oman, especially from Aden and southern regions of Yemen. In those cases, plan accommodation and embassy visits in advance to avoid delays.

🧠 Real-World Advice:
One of our patients from Taiz tried to reach Muscat by land but got delayed due to border paperwork. We stepped in, contacted a local fixer, and arranged for safe passage and a hotel near the embassy. A few days later, she and her father were on a plane to Delhi for urgent heart treatment.

Final Thoughts

The medical visa process from Yemen to India may now require an extra step through Jordan or Oman, but it is 100% possible—and it’s working. With the right documentation, timely coordination, and trusted support, patients are reaching India every week for life-saving care.

If you’re not sure where to start or feel overwhelmed, Shifam Health is here to help—we’ll coordinate your hospital letters, guide you with visa paperwork, and even help you find safe places to stay in Amman or Muscat during the process.

Estimated Time & Costs for Medical Visa via Each Location

Whenever a Yemeni patient reaches out to us at Shifam Health, the first questions—after “Where do I apply from?”—are almost always about cost and time:

“How long will the visa take?”
“Can I afford to stay in Amman or Muscat while I wait?”
“What if the embassy closes while I’m there?”

I completely understand those concerns. Most families are not only dealing with serious medical conditions, but also traveling on limited budgets, sometimes relying on donations or selling personal belongings to cover their expenses. So, let’s break this down honestly—based on real cases we’ve handled recently.

Visa Cost and Travel Overview: Jordan vs Oman

Indian Medical Visa – Country-Wise Processing & Cost Breakdown
Country Visa Fee Processing Time Travel Cost from Yemen Accommodation Cost (Per Day)
Jordan ~$80 USD 5–7 working days Approx. $300–500 $40–60
Oman ~$80 USD 7–10 working days Approx. $200–400 $25–45

Jordan – Faster but Slightly Costlier

Jordan is a popular choice for Yemeni families from Sana’a, Ibb, and Taiz. Flights or land routes to Amman are available, though they may involve transit through other countries depending on availability.

My Experience:
We helped a patient from Dhamar reach Amman with her son for brain tumor treatment. The family spent nearly $600 on travel, and around $50 per day on accommodation near the Indian Embassy. Her visa was approved in 6 working days, but we had to wait through a weekend and a public holiday, so keep that in mind.

Embassy Closures in Jordan:

  • The Indian Embassy in Amman is closed on Fridays and Saturdays (Jordanian weekend)
  • Also closed on Indian national holidays (e.g., Republic Day, Diwali)
  • Check in advance if your appointment falls near holidays to avoid delays

Oman – More Accessible for Southern Yemenis

If you’re coming from Aden, Mukalla, or Shabwah, Oman is often a more affordable and logistically smoother option. Many families travel overland via the Al-Mazyouna border, and spend less on flights or entry visas.

My Experience:
One patient from Mukalla reached Muscat by road and stayed in a modest guesthouse for $30/day. The visa took 9 working days—a bit longer than expected—partly due to embassy congestion and a short staff week. But she got it without complications.

Embassy Closures in Oman:

  • The Indian Embassy in Muscat is closed on Fridays and Saturdays (Omani weekend)
  • Closed during Indian and Omani public holidays
  • In Ramadan, working hours are shorter—keep this in mind for planning.

Potential Delays & Realistic Expectations

While the official timelines are 5–10 working days, delays can happen. Common reasons include:

  • Incomplete or unclear documents (especially medical letters)
  • High application volume (post-holiday periods)
  • Unexpected embassy closures (strikes, national mourning, etc.)

That’s why we always advise our patients to plan for at least 2 weeks, just to be safe. It’s better to spend a few extra days in Jordan or Oman than to miss a medical appointment in India because of a delayed visa.

At Shifam Health, we proactively follow up with the embassies and coordinate with Indian hospitals to ensure no time is lost. We also help arrange affordable guesthouse stays, especially for low-income patients waiting during processing.

Final Tip

Before you travel to Jordan or Oman, check:

  • Local embassy working days
  • Any upcoming holidays
  • Your budget for 10–15 days (just in case)
  • And most importantly: carry extra copies of every document

If you’re not sure where to start, just message us. We’ve already helped over a dozen Yemeni patients complete their visa process in recent weeks—and we’re here for you too.

How Shifam Health Helps Yemeni Patients

When you’re sick or caring for someone who’s sick, every small task can feel like climbing a mountain. That’s something I’ve witnessed over and over again, especially with patients from Yemen who are trying to get to India for urgent medical treatment.

At Shifam Health, we’re not just a medical travel agency—we’re companions on this journey. Many of us on the team have personally worked with Yemeni patients for years, and we know the emotional, financial, and logistical weight you carry. That’s why we’ve built our services around one goal: to make this process as smooth, safe, and stress-free as possible for you and your family.

End-to-End Support – From Yemen to India

We don’t believe in leaving patients to figure things out alone. From the moment you contact us, we offer step-by-step support, including:

  • Booking Appointments at Top Indian Hospitals
    We help you select the right hospital and specialist based on your medical condition and budget. We’ve partnered with leading hospitals in Delhi, Hyderabad, Chennai, and Mumbai that understand the unique needs of Yemeni patients.
  • Issuing Medical Visa Invitation Letters
    We coordinate directly with hospitals to get official treatment letters that the Indian embassy requires for your visa. And if the letter needs corrections or re-issuance, we handle it fast—often within 24 hours.
  • Embassy Coordination & Visa Guidance
    We help you prepare every document you’ll need to apply from Jordan or Oman. If needed, we even speak directly with the embassy staff to follow up on urgent cases or clarifications.

💬 Real Stories from Yemeni Families

One of the stories I’ll never forget is of a father from Hodeidah who called me late one evening. His 8-year-old daughter was battling leukemia, and they had lost hope when the Sana’a visa office closed. He didn’t know where to go, how to apply, or how he would afford it.

We helped him apply via Oman, arranged a discounted hospital package in Delhi, and even connected him with another Yemeni family already in India. Two weeks later, he sent us a photo of his daughter smiling in the hospital bed—midway through her first round of chemo.

There are dozens of stories like this. A young man with a brain tumor who traveled via Jordan. A diabetic patient from Taiz who finally got limb-saving surgery. Every story is a reminder of why we do this.


Emergency Fast-Track Processing

Medical emergencies don’t wait for embassy timelines. That’s why we’ve built relationships with hospitals and embassies to fast-track documentation for urgent cases.

In one case, a Yemeni woman in Mukalla needed spinal surgery after an accident. She was in constant pain, and the doctors in India were ready to admit her. We arranged the invitation letter, submitted documents to Muscat, and followed up daily with the embassy. Her visa was issued in just 3 days—a miracle, considering standard wait times.


🌐 Multilingual & Culturally Sensitive Support

We understand that communication is everything—especially when you’re far from home. That’s why we have a dedicated Arabic-speaking team that works closely with Yemeni patients.

Whether you prefer speaking in Arabic or want your documents explained clearly in your native language, we’re here. Our team helps:

  • Translate and review medical documents
  • Fill out visa forms
  • Explain every step in your journey, from embassy visits to airport pickups
  • Even connect you with other Yemeni patients already in India for moral support

❤️ Our Promise to You

At Shifam Health, we don’t see you as “a case.” We see your name, your story, and your struggle—and we’re here to stand with you. Whether you need help understanding the process, fast-tracking your visa, or just a voice of reassurance, we are just one call or WhatsApp message away.

Important Tips & Precautions for Yemeni Patients

Applying for a medical visa from Yemen to India is no longer straightforward due to regional conflict and recent changes in embassy routes. Based on what we’ve experienced while assisting hundreds of Yemeni patients through Shifam Health, here are a few critical tips and precautions to help you avoid stress, delays, and unnecessary expenses during your medical travel journey:

✅ Get Travel Insurance Before Departure

While not mandatory for all cases, travel health insurance is strongly recommended — especially when traveling from Yemen via Jordan or Oman. Medical emergencies, missed flights, or sudden health complications can happen, and insurance offers peace of mind. We’ve had patients who were forced to reschedule their return journey due to unexpected medical issues — travel insurance saved them a lot of money and trouble.

😷 Follow COVID-19 Guidelines Strictly

Though the COVID-19 crisis has subsided globally, Indian immigration authorities and embassy checkpoints may still ask for updated health certificates, vaccination proof, or negative RT-PCR tests. It’s better to stay one step ahead. We advise every patient to carry their vaccine card, basic medications, and wear a mask while transiting airports — especially in Amman and Muscat, where entry rules sometimes change based on health alerts.

⚠️ Beware of Fake Visa Agents and Scams

Unfortunately, many patients from Yemen fall prey to unauthorized agents who promise “fast visa approvals” in exchange for large sums of money. We’ve seen heartbreaking cases where patients lost hundreds of dollars and precious time due to fake promises. Only trust verified medical facilitators, Indian hospitals, or embassy-approved channels. Shifam Health works directly with Indian hospitals and embassies, so our process is transparent and safe.

🏥 Verify the Indian Hospital Before Applying

Before even starting the visa process, make sure your Indian hospital is government-registered and authorized to treat international patients. You must receive an official medical invitation letter with a letterhead, doctor’s name, treatment details, and hospital stamp. If this letter is not proper, your visa might be rejected. We help you cross-check these details for every patient we support.

📑 Keep Multiple Copies of Every Document

You never know when you’ll be asked for another copy of your passport, NOC, hospital invitation letter, or medical history. Always carry at least three printed sets and keep scanned copies on your phone or email. Patients we’ve assisted in the past have often had to show these at multiple checkpoints, even while entering the hospital in India.

✈️ Book Your Travel Only After Visa Approval

We strongly advise not to book your airline ticket until your Indian medical visa is approved and stamped. Some patients who booked tickets before visa confirmation ended up losing money because of delays or rejections. While Jordan has a quicker processing time than Oman in most cases, it’s better to be safe than sorry.


These tips are not just suggestions — they come from real experiences we’ve had over the last few months supporting Yemeni families during difficult times. Our goal at Shifam Health is to make sure every patient feels informed, supported, and safe from start to finish.

Let us know if you’d like help with your specific case, and we’ll walk you through every step personally.

Latest Updates & Embassy Contact Details for Yemeni Patients

With the Indian medical visa process for Yemenis now redirected through Jordan and Oman, it’s crucial to stay up to date with the latest embassy contact details, working hours, and any changes in procedures. I’ve personally guided several Yemeni families through this new process — and trust me, having the right embassy information at your fingertips can save you time, stress, and money.

Here’s what I recommend based on what I’ve experienced while coordinating with embassies in both Amman and Muscat:


📍 Indian Embassy in Amman, Jordan

Many Yemeni patients we’ve supported recently were successfully issued their Indian medical visas from Amman. It’s currently one of the more responsive and accessible locations, provided you have all documents in order, especially the medical invitation letter from the Indian hospital.

  • Address: Embassy of India, 24 Al-Hidhab Street, Abdoun, Amman, Jordan
  • Phone: +962-6-4622098 / 4622099
  • Email: cons.amman@mea.gov.in
  • Working Days: Sunday to Thursday (9:00 AM – 5:00 PM)
  • Visa Hours: 9:30 AM – 12:30 PM for submissions; 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM for collections

Tip: Always call or email before visiting. Sometimes, appointments are required, and walk-ins may not be entertained, especially during high-demand days.


📍 Indian Embassy in Muscat, Oman

Some Yemeni patients prefer Oman due to geographic proximity or ease of travel. While Muscat can be slightly slower in processing than Amman in certain cases, it is still a reliable alternative, particularly for those already residing in or near Oman.

  • Address: Embassy of India, Jamiat Al Dowal Al Arabiya Street, Al Khuwair Area, Muscat, Oman
  • Phone: +968-24684500 / 24684517
  • Email: cons.muscat@mea.gov.in
  • Working Days: Sunday to Thursday (8:30 AM – 5:00 PM)
  • Visa Hours: 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM for submissions; collection hours are generally from 3:00 PM

Note: We’ve had patients who faced minor delays due to incomplete paperwork. Be sure to carry 3–4 copies of every document, especially your passport, medical visa application form, NOC (if applicable), and medical invitation letter.


🔗 Official Embassy Websites (Always Use These to Confirm!)

These official embassy websites post latest announcements, holiday schedules, and application procedure updates — so never rely only on third-party sites or agents.

Important Reminder: Bookmark This Page!

Embassy rules and visa policies can change unexpectedly. We’ve seen patients miss deadlines or travel with outdated info — simply because they didn’t double-check the latest requirements.

Bookmark this page for real-time updates. We regularly monitor embassy announcements and policy shifts so you don’t have to.

If you’re unsure where to begin or which embassy suits your case, just message us. We’ll personally guide you — from choosing the right embassy to getting your documents verified, appointments booked, and visa processed.

FAQs – Indian Medical Visa for Yemenis (2025)

Real questions we’ve received from patients and families in Yemen – answered with clarity and care.

Can I still apply for an Indian medical visa from Sana’a or Djibouti?

Unfortunately, as of early 2025, the Indian visa processing centers in Sana’a and Djibouti have been officially suspended. Many of our patients have faced tremendous stress and delays due to this sudden shift. We’ve seen families waiting for weeks, only to find out that their documents wouldn’t be accepted locally anymore.
Now, the only officially approved routes are via Indian embassies in Amman (Jordan) and Muscat (Oman). We strongly advise against waiting for the Sana’a or Djibouti offices to reopen. If you or a loved one need urgent medical care in India, it’s best to begin your visa process through these new channels right away.

Do I need to visit India before applying for the medical visa?

No, you do not need to travel to India before applying for a medical visa. The process is designed to help you receive permission before you travel. However, what you do need is:
A medical invitation letter from an Indian hospital
A clear diagnosis or referral from your doctor in Yemen
And the required supporting documents like your passport, photos, and visa application form.
We’ve helped many patients who have never been to India before and were feeling anxious. Once they received their invitation letter and guidance on how to fill the form, the process became much smoother.

Can Shifam Health help me if I already booked my treatment in India?

Absolutely! We assist Yemeni patients at any stage of their medical journey – whether you have just started exploring hospitals or already have an appointment booked.
Our team regularly works with top hospitals like Fortis, Apollo, BLK, and Max. If you’ve already chosen a hospital, we can help you get:
An official invitation letter needed for your visa
Embassy coordination and follow-ups
Flight and accommodation support
Many patients come to us with half-prepared paperwork and are unsure how to proceed. Our Arabic-speaking advisors guide you step-by-step to avoid delays and rejections.

What documents are required from the Indian hospital for visa approval?

You will need the following from your selected Indian hospital:
Medical Invitation Letter on hospital letterhead
Doctor’s assessment or treatment recommendation
Expected duration of stay and type of treatment
Hospital’s registration and contact details
We coordinate with Indian hospitals daily to ensure that the invitation letters match embassy requirements. This is important, because even a small mismatch in name spelling or date can delay your visa.

Can I travel with a family member or caretaker on the same visa?

Yes, you can. In fact, the Indian government allows a Medical Attendant Visa (MX Visa) for one or two caretakers accompanying the patient.
From our experience, especially with elderly or pediatric patients from Yemen, travelling with a trusted family member can make a huge difference in recovery and emotional support.
Make sure:
The attendant’s name is mentioned in the hospital invitation
They submit a separate visa application
Their passport and documents are ready together with the patient
If you’re unsure how to arrange this, just ask Shifam Health – we handle this regularly for Yemeni families and will walk you through the steps.

Still have questions?
Our team at Shifam Health is always available via WhatsApp, phone, or email to help Yemeni patients with urgent medical visa needs.

Conclusion: Take Action Now

If you’re a Yemeni patient or a family member looking for urgent medical treatment in India, please don’t lose hope. Yes, the sudden closure of the Indian visa offices in Sana’a and Djibouti has created real stress, confusion, and a sense of helplessness among many families—but there is a way forward.

We at Shifam Health have seen it ourselves—patients who were panicking one week, now safely undergoing treatment in India the next. New visa routes through Jordan and Oman are working, and we’ve already helped dozens of Yemeni families make the transition smoothly, despite the challenges.

👉 But here’s the reality: Embassy appointment slots are limited, visa processing can take several working days, and there’s always the risk of delays due to embassy holidays or document issues. That’s why we strongly advise you to start your visa planning as early as possible—especially if your case is urgent or involves serious medical conditions.

Whether you’re still collecting your reports, waiting on a hospital confirmation, or unsure how to begin the visa process—we’re here for you. With Arabic-speaking advisors, direct coordination with Indian hospitals, and real-time updates from embassies, Shifam Health can walk you through every single step.
