Eye Treatment & LASIK in India for Russian Patients — FAQs
How do Russian patients get an Indian medical visa for eye care and LASIK?
Medical Visa with invitation typically takes 5–12 working days at the Indian Embassy/Consulate. We share a Russian-language document list. Russian citizens apply for an Indian Medical Visa with a hospital invitation. Russian-language case managers explain consent forms, estimates, and discharge summaries. SI GlobalMedCare requests the hospital invitation letter after the specialist accepts the file.
Can family from Russia travel as medical attendants?
Usually up to two attendants travel on MX / attendant visas using the same hospital invitation. We list passport copies needed from Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Novosibirsk, and Kazan.
Will someone speak Russian in Delhi?
Yes. Case managers work in Russian and English on WhatsApp, consent, ward rounds and discharge for Russian families.
How long is the journey from Moscow to Delhi?
Moscow to Delhi is served by Air India and connecting Gulf/Turkish carriers (about 6–9 hours direct or one-stop). Typical fare band: $350 - $700. We meet you at IGI Terminal 3.
Are costs for eye care and LASIK shown in RUB?
Hospital bills are INR or USD. Every estimate we send also shows RUB so relatives in Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Novosibirsk, and Kazan can plan. ICU overruns and implants are listed separately.
Which hospitals in Delhi NCR do eye care and LASIK for Russian patients?
Apollo, Medanta, Fortis Escorts, Max Saket, BLK-Max and Artemis are used most often. The opinion names one campus.
How soon can eye care and LASIK start after arrival from Russia?
Diagnostics often start the next working day; surgery follows clearance and implant/OT booking — typically days, not months.

Send what you have. If a PET, angiogram or biopsy must be repeated in Delhi, it is listed on the estimate before you fly.
