Do I Need an Indian Medical Visa?

Yes — Bangladeshi citizens require a Medical Visa (M-Visa) for treatment in India. For genuine medical emergencies, the Indian High Commission in Dhaka issues fast-track medical visas within 24 to 48 hours when accompanied by a hospital invitation letter from the receiving Indian facility. For unconscious or intubated patients, the visa is issued on the basis of medical documentation without the patient attending in person. Family members travel on MX (medical attendant) visas. Our team assists with all visa documentation.

Is a Ventilated Patient Safe on the Dhaka to Delhi Flight?

Yes. The 2.5 to 3 hour flight is actually shorter than the Dhaka to Bangkok corridor, making it one of the safest international routes for critically ill patients. Our ICU air ambulances carry transport ventilators, cardiac monitors, infusion pumps, and defibrillators. The flight doctor manages the patient continuously. The cabin is pressurised to sea-level equivalent, eliminating the altitude-related risks of commercial flights.
