Is a transplant donor given a medical visa too?
Quick answer
Yes, living organ donors usually travel on a medical visa, because they undergo surgery themselves. Transplant hospitals need specific documents proving the relationship between donor and recipient. These are checked by an authorisation committee under Indian transplant law. Your embassy may also need to verify identities. Start gathering paperwork early, because document checks often take longer than the medical tests. The donor should also carry their own medical reports.
