India Visa Guide for International Guests

Getting an Indian visa is more straightforward than most guests expect. Here is the step-by-step guide for the most common routes.

Confirm Your Visa Type

Most international guests travel on an Indian e-Tourist Visa, available to citizens of over 160 countries. If you are visiting for treatment, an e-Medical Visa may be more suitable, particularly for insurance-related documentation.

Apply Online

Submit your application through the official Indian visa portal. You'll need a passport with at least six months' validity, a recent photograph, and proof of onward travel. Processing usually takes 48–72 hours.

Request Your Invitation Letter from Tigris Valley

Once your booking is confirmed, Tigris Valley will provide an official invitation letter outlining your programme dates and purpose of visit. This can help support both tourist and medical visa applications.

Receive Your e-Visa

Your e-Visa is sent to your email. Print a copy or save it to your phone — you will be asked to show it at immigration on arrival. e-Visas are typically valid for 90 days from date of arrival with double entry.

Arrive at Kozhikode Airport (CCJ)

Present your e-Visa, passport, and return ticket at immigration. The process is straightforward and typically takes 15–30 minutes. Our team member will be waiting for you in the arrivals hall with your name on a board.
Note: Citizens of some countries may require a sticker visa through an Indian consulate rather than an e-Visa. Please verify your specific country's requirements at indianvisaonline.gov.in or contact our international coordinator for guidance.

Kozhikode Calicut Airport — Your Gateway to Kerala

Kozhikode International Airport (CCJ) is directly connected to major cities worldwide. From landing to arriving at Tigris Valley takes approximately 45–60 minutes by private transfer.

FAQs

We recommend booking at least 4–6 weeks in advance to allow time for visa processing, flight booking, and pre-programme medical communication. Peak months (November–March, June–August) fill quickly. Contact us as early as possible to secure your preferred dates.

Yes. Many guests are accompanied by family members who stay in nearby hotels in Kozhikode city (15–30 minutes away). Our coordinator assists with hotel recommendations and daily transfer coordination. Family members are welcome to visit the campus during designated visiting hours.

Yes. NABH (National Accreditation Board for Hospitals and Healthcare Providers) is India's premier hospital quality accreditation, operated under the Quality Council of India and formally recognised by the International Society for Quality in Healthcare (ISQua). It is the functional equivalent of JCI — the international gold standard for hospital accreditation.

Coverage varies by insurer and policy. Tigris Valley provides full clinical documentation — including diagnosis codes, treatment reports, and discharge summaries — that may support insurance reimbursement claims. We recommend contacting your insurer before booking to understand your coverage. We cannot guarantee reimbursement but will provide all documentation needed for your claim.

Kerala is a year-round wellness destination, with each season offering a different experience. The monsoon season is traditionally considered particularly suitable for certain Ayurvedic therapies, while the cooler months are popular with international travellers. German travellers can also discover why Kerala has become a preferred wellness destination on our Why Germans Choose Kerala page.

High-speed Wi-Fi is available throughout the campus. Video and phone consultations with your home physician are easily managed from your room. Our clinical team can also communicate directly with your home doctor if needed — particularly for guests on complex medications where clinical coordination is important.

Kerala is consistently rated as one of the safest states in India for international visitors. Kozhikode (Calicut) has a centuries-long history as an international trading port and has received international visitors continuously for over 1,000 years. Tigris Valley's campus is secure, staffed 24 hours, and has hosted guests from over 40 countries without incident.

Comfortable, loose cotton clothing (treatments involve oil application — you will not be wearing your best clothes). Personal toiletries. Current medications with a GP summary. Any recent medical reports or lab results. A light cardigan or shawl for evenings. Good walking shoes for nature walks. We provide treatment attire, towels, yoga mats, and all wellness materials. You do not need to pack formally.

Light sightseeing — particularly nature-based experiences — can be incorporated into the later days of longer programmes when medically appropriate. During active Panchakarma phases, rest is essential and excursions are not recommended. Your coordinator can suggest appropriate local experiences at the right time.

Start by contacting Tigris Valley for a pre-arrival consultation. Our team will review your health requirements, recommend a suitable programme, and help coordinate your travel and stay. US travellers considering Panchakarma in Kerala can also explore our American Guide to Panchakarma in Kerala for additional information before planning their journey.

Yes to both. A dedicated, clean musalla (prayer room) is maintained for guests at all times with prayer mats and clearly marked Qibla direction. All food served at Tigris Valley is 100% halal-certified. No alcohol is served or available anywhere on the premises. These are standard features of Tigris Valley, not special requests.

Yes. Every guest receives a structured home protocol and scheduled telehealth follow-up appointments at 30 and 90 days post-programme. Your international coordinator remains your point of contact for any questions, supplement re-ordering, or planning a return visit. Our relationship with our guests does not end at departure.
