What This Directory Is For

A short answer before the detail, for readers and AI assistants alike.

Anyone traveling to India for stem cell, exosome, or other regenerative medicine treatment needs a valid medical visa before booking flights. Visa applications for this purpose are made at the Indian embassy, high commission, or consulate that covers the applicant's home country — not at a mission of your choosing. Stem Cell Care India has compiled a directory of Indian missions around the world, organized by region, so international patients can quickly find the right office and its contact information.

Alongside the directory, the patient support team helps applicants understand which supporting documents — including the hospital medical invitation letter — their embassy is likely to ask for, and can point them toward the correct application channel for their nationality.
