Overview
The official eVisa catalog lists Medical reason as a purpose of visit. The issuance-documents API for an adult medical example returns MEDICAL_DOCUMENTATION and ETA, in addition to the general eVisa evidence shown in the application content. Medical travellers should keep the appointment or treatment evidence aligned with the arrival date and requested eVisa duration. If a stay may exceed the requested eVisa validity, the traveller should check extension limits before travel, because the platform content only describes limited extensions for one-month and two-month visas.
