Learn More About the India e-Visa

What Can You Do on an India e-Visa?

An India e-Visa allows eligible travellers to:

• Visit India for tourism, holidays, or sightseeing

• Meet family or friends

• Attend business meetings or short-term commercial activities

• Receive medical treatment or accompany a patient under the medical category

All activities must remain temporary and consistent with the purpose of the issued e-Visa. Employment, long-term study, journalism activities, and permanent residence are not permitted.

Length of Stay and Validity

Validity and permitted length of stay depend on the visa category granted.

• Tourist e-Visas may be issued with different validity periods, such as short-term, one-year, or multi-year options, with limits on the duration of each visit.

• Business e-Visas are typically issued with multiple entries during their validity period, with stay limits per visit.

• Medical e-Visas are usually granted for short-term treatment travel with limited entries.

• Medical Attendant e-Visas normally follow the validity of the medical patient’s visa.

Travellers must leave India before the authorised stay period expires, even if the visa validity has not ended.

Key Eligibility Considerations

Each application is assessed individually. Authorities may consider:

• Whether the travel purpose matches the selected category

• Travel and immigration history

• Passport validity and supporting documentation

• Evidence of sufficient funds for the stay

• Security and background checks

All information provided must be accurate and truthful. Incorrect or misleading details may result in refusal or future travel restrictions.

How to Apply for an India e-Visa

The India e-Visa must be obtained online before travelling.

Applications are submitted through the official Government of India website and cannot normally be completed on arrival.

The general process includes:

• Confirming eligibility and visa category

• Completing the online application form

• Uploading required documents

• Paying the fees

• Submitting the application

• Receiving the electronic travel authorisation once approved

The approved e-Visa is issued electronically and linked to your passport.

You may apply directly through the official Government of India website by paying the standard government fee, without using our additional support services.

Travellers are advised to apply in advance of their intended travel date, as processing times can vary and approval is not guaranteed.

India e-Visa Conditions and Restrictions

Travelling on an India e-Visa includes conditions that must be followed during your stay:

• Activities must remain within the approved travel purpose

• No employment or long-term study is permitted

• Stay duration limits must be respected

• Entry must be through designated airports or seaports authorised for e-Visa holders

Exit from India may occur through authorised immigration checkpoints.

Failure to comply with visa conditions may affect future travel eligibility.

Processing Times and Decision Making

Many applications are processed within a few days, although timelines can vary depending on:

• Accuracy and completeness of the information provided

• Security checks and background verification

• Application volumes at the time of submission

• Individual circumstances of the applicant

Providing consistent and complete information can help reduce delays, but approval is never guaranteed.

Entry to India

An approved India e-Visa allows you to travel to India, but immigration authorities at the port of arrival make the final decision on your entry.

Travellers may be asked to show:

• Return or onward travel arrangements

• Proof of accommodation

• Evidence of sufficient funds

• Documents supporting the purpose of the visit

Entry decisions are made under Indian immigration regulations and are separate from the e-Visa approval itself.
