Planning medical treatment abroad can be stressful — especially when it involves visa paperwork, flights, accommodation, and local transportation. For Ethiopian patients seeking treatment in India, these logistics can be overwhelming without the right guidance.
At DocTrePat, we simplify the entire journey — from the moment you decide to travel, to the day you return home healthy. This blog explains how we provide complete visa and travel support to Ethiopian patients, so you can focus on what really matters: your recovery.
Step-by-Step: How We Help with Your Visa Process
1. Medical Report Submission
You begin by sharing your diagnosis reports with us (via WhatsApp or email). Once we review them, we:
- Shortlist the right hospital and doctor
- Arrange a treatment plan and quotation
2. Medical Visa Invitation Letter
After you approve the plan, we immediately coordinate with the hospital to issue a:
- Medical Visa Invitation Letter
- Doctor’s recommendation
- Hospital registration document
These are essential for applying at the Embassy of India in Addis Ababa.
3. Attendant Visa Assistance
Most Ethiopian patients bring a relative or spouse. We also:
- Help apply for an Attendant Visa
- Issue separate letters for companions
- Advise on duration and stay options
4. Support with Visa Application
Our coordinators guide you on:
- Where to apply (Indian Embassy in Addis Ababa)
- Required documents: passport, photos, medical letter, reports
- Processing time: 3–5 working days
Need help filling the form or preparing the file? We’re one message away.
