If you're a Bangladeshi patient seeking specialized medical treatment in India, obtaining a Visa Invitation Letter (VIL) from Manipal Hospital is the critical first step. The VIL serves as an official invitation from a recognized Indian healthcare facility and is a mandatory requirement for applying for an Indian medical visa.
What is a VIL?
A Visa Invitation Letter (VIL) is an official document issued by an Indian hospital confirming that the hospital has reviewed your medical records and is willing to provide treatment. Indian immigration authorities require this document as part of the medical visa application process.
Documents Required for VIL Processing
- Recent medical records (reports, prescriptions, scans) — 3 to 6 months old
- Passport copy of the patient (and attendant, if applicable)
- Passport-size photograph
- Patient contact details (phone, WhatsApp, email)
- Brief summary of your medical condition
How Long Does VIL Processing Take?
Typically, the VIL process takes 3–7 working days after all required documents have been submitted. At CareHub, we follow up proactively with the hospital to ensure timely processing and keep you updated at every stage.
