Source-backed scope
Adult Indian ordinary-passport patient entering Ethiopia for treatment by a named Ethiopian health organisation under Medical Treatment Visa (MDV). The guide covers the patient's initial eVisa file, not an accompanying carer's separate visa, emergency admission, residency, work or treatment cost/medical suitability. Confirm the exact available validity in the application because the category's duration list and fee table are inconsistent about a six-month option. Approval and admission are not guaranteed.

The official MDV page says this category is for foreign nationals entering Ethiopia to be treated for a medical condition. It requires a recent passport photograph, passport valid at least six months from intended entry, an application letter to the health organisation, and an invitation from that organisation. Its duration text and fee table differ about a six-month option, so the portal's live selection controls.
Exceptions
- Requirements and accepted document formats can change. Follow the linked authority for your exact purpose and application stage.
- Use row-level processing labels: translation, notarisation, apostille, embassy attestation and MEA or HRD attestation are not interchangeable.

FAQs
Are all documents for Ethiopia medical treatment automatically translated?
No. Translation is shown per document row because official sources may accept some documents as issued while requiring translation for others.
Can I order document processing from this checklist?
Build your checklist using the route facts first. A processing option can be selected only where supported by the document row. Rows needing language or authentication confirmation remain under review before pricing.
