Which Indian cities do Bangladeshi patients usually travel to for treatment?

The three biggest medical corridors from Dhaka are Kolkata (closest and most affordable), Chennai (major speciality hospitals such as those in the Vellore and Chennai clusters) and Delhi (large multi-speciality hospitals). These are also among the most-flown international routes from Bangladesh.

Can I get an Indian visa for medical treatment now?

Yes. India resumed tourist visas for Bangladeshi passport holders from 28 June 2026, and medical and medical-attendant visa categories operate with priority processing. A hospital appointment or invitation letter strengthens a medical-visa file. goFLY prepares the complete visa file and guides you through IVAC submission.

What does goFLY actually do for a medical trip — and what does it not do?

goFLY handles the travel side: comparing airlines and fares on the Kolkata, Chennai and Delhi routes, flexible or open-return ticketing to fit treatment timelines, attendant tickets, visa file preparation and travel-day guidance. goFLY does not diagnose, refer to doctors, or take commissions from hospitals — choose your hospital independently; we get you there.

Which airlines fly the Dhaka–Kolkata, Chennai and Delhi routes?

Kolkata is served by short direct flights, and Chennai and Delhi by direct and one-stop options on carriers including US-Bangla, Biman, IndiGo and SpiceJet. Fares vary sharply by date — comparing airlines matters most on these routes.

Should the return ticket be flexible for medical travel?

Usually yes. Treatment and follow-up dates often shift, so goFLY typically recommends a changeable return or a fare where the date-change fee is low, and explains the exact change rules of your fare before you buy.

India Medical Travel from Bangladesh — Kolkata, Chennai & Delhi

Every year, hundreds of thousands of Bangladeshis travel abroad for treatment — and India's Kolkata, Chennai and Delhi corridors are the most-flown routes from Dhaka. goFLY handles the travel side of a medical trip end to end: the visa file, the flights (with returns flexible enough for treatment schedules), and attendant travel — in Bangla, from one Dhaka team.

🛂 India visas resumed — tourist from 28 Jun 2026; medical priority
✈️ 3 corridors: CCU · MAA · DEL
🎫 Flexible-return ticketing for treatment dates
🏅 IATA 42337956 · 4.8★ / 480+ reviews

Honest scope: goFLY is a travel agency, not a hospital or a medical referral service. We don't recommend doctors and we take no commission from any hospital. You choose your hospital — we get you there, on time, with the right visa and the right ticket.

The three medical corridors

1Dhaka → Kolkata (CCU) — the closest and most affordable corridor; short direct flights make it practical even for repeat follow-up visits.
2Dhaka → Chennai (MAA) — South India's speciality-hospital cluster (including the Vellore corridor); direct and one-stop options.
3Dhaka → Delhi (DEL) — large multi-speciality hospitals; direct and one-stop options on several carriers.

These aren't marketing picks — booking data shows Kolkata, Chennai and Delhi among the most-flown international routes from Bangladesh, driven substantially by medical travel. Fares on these routes vary sharply by date and carrier (US-Bangla, Biman, IndiGo, SpiceJet and others), so comparing airlines matters more here than on almost any other route.

Frequently asked questions

Can I get an Indian medical visa now?

Yes — India resumed tourist visas for Bangladeshis from 28 June 2026, and the medical and medical-attendant categories operate with priority handling. A hospital appointment or invitation letter strengthens the file; goFLY prepares the complete application.

Which corridor is cheapest?

Kolkata, almost always — it's the shortest flight and has the most frequency. Chennai and Delhi cost more but serve speciality treatment that Kolkata may not.

Should my return ticket be flexible?

Usually yes. Treatment and follow-ups shift, so we typically recommend a changeable return or a fare with a low date-change fee — and we explain your fare's exact change rules before you pay.

Can an attendant travel with the patient?

Yes — India issues medical-attendant visas alongside the patient's medical visa, and we book attendants on the same flights.

Do you also arrange Thailand medical travel?

Yes — goFLY coordinates Thailand medical travel too, including visa and ticketing, and works with patients visiting hospitals such as Bumrungrad and Bangkok Hospital. See our Thailand medical travel guide.
