01What medical treatment/purpose does the route cover and which applicant role does it address: patient, donor or another medical purpose?
The official e-Visa page includes an e-Medical Attendant Visa for e-Ayush Attendant purpose.
See recorded sources
02What acceptance, appointment, referral, treatment plan or healthcare-provider documentation is important?
For the e-Ayush Attendant purpose (an e-Medical Attendant Visa) the only document listed is the scanned passport bio page; no hospital document is listed for the attendant.
See recorded sources
Limits of the record- General instructions say one more document depending on e-Visa type may be required; the patient's visa needs a hospital letter.
03How must treatment costs, living costs and insurance be demonstrated?
E-Visa conditions require a return or onward journey ticket and sufficient money to spend during the stay in India; no separate treatment-cost or insurance rule is stated.
See recorded sources
Limits of the record- Source does not separately address treatment costs or health insurance.
04Can a carer/companion accompany the patient? Who qualifies and what separate/linked permission applies?
Attendants of an e-Medical visa holder are an eligible e-Visa purpose; only two e-Medical Attendant Visas are granted against one e-Medical Visa (patient).
See recorded sources
Limits of the record- Rule stated for e-Medical/e-Medical Attendant; e-Ayush Attendant is listed as an e-Medical Attendant Visa purpose.
05How long can the patient stay, what happens if treatment continues longer, and what official extension or follow-up mechanism exists?
The official e-Visa portal lists document requirements for e-Medical Attendant "for e-Ayush purpose" and gives e-Medical/e-Medical Attendant applicants a window from at least four days before arrival to 120 days in advance. Its medical-category table displays one year from arrival with multiple entries, while its FAQ says 60 days from first arrival for e-Medical Attendant. The source does not reconcile the two duration statements for the Ayush-purpose variant. The portal states the general e-Visa rule that it is non-extendable and non-convertible.
See recorded sources
Limits of the record- The same official portal contains unreconciled one-year and 60-day duration wording; a definitive permitted stay and any specific exception to the general no-extension rule are not demonstrated by this capture. The visa issued to an individual must be checked.
