India Visa · Quick Answer

Can I Get an India Visa While Pregnant?

Yes. Pregnancy is not a bar to an India e-Visa or sticker visa. Apply normally and declare any medical condition honestly if asked. For travel in late pregnancy, check airline rules and consider travel insurance; the e-Medical visa is only for treatment at a recognised hospital, not maternity tourism on a tourist visa.

Airlines may restrict travel after 36 weeks for international flights; plan travel earlier in the pregnancy and carry medical clearance if needed.
