Eligibility

Citizens from over 170 countries are eligible to apply for an Indian e-visa. The e-visa is available for tourism, business, medical, and yoga purposes. However, it is NOT available for:
  • Pakistani passport holders or persons of Pakistani origin
  • Diplomatic or Official passport holders
  • Individuals endorsed on parents' or spouse's passport
  • International Travel Document holders

Yes, minors can apply for an e-visa. However, each individual must have a separate passport and separate visa application. Children endorsed on their parents' passports are not eligible for e-visas.

Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the date of arrival in India. It should also have at least two blank pages for immigration stamps.

Application Process

You should apply at least 4 days before your intended travel date. However, you can apply up to 120 days in advance of your arrival in India. We recommend applying as early as possible to avoid last-minute complications.

For a tourist or business e-visa, you will need:
  • A scanned copy of the biographical page of your passport (in PDF format)
  • A recent passport-sized photograph with white background (in JPEG format)
  • For business visas: A business invitation letter from an Indian company
All documents must meet the specified size and format requirements outlined in the application form.

Most e-visa applications are processed within 24 hours of submission. Standard processing takes 3-5 business days. For urgent cases, we offer priority processing that delivers your approved e-visa within 24-48 hours for an additional fee.

Once submitted, applications cannot be modified. If you need to make changes, please contact our support team immediately. In some cases, we may be able to assist with resubmissions free of charge if the application has not yet been forwarded to immigration authorities.

Visa Validity & Entry

The validity depends on the type of visa you apply for:
  • Tourist 30-day: Valid for 30 days from arrival, double entry
  • Tourist 1-year: Valid for 365 days from date of issue, multiple entry
  • Tourist 5-year: Valid for 5 years from date of issue, multiple entry
  • Business: Valid for 365 days from date of issue, multiple entry
  • Medical & Yoga: Valid for specific durations as per government regulations

E-visa holders can enter India through 27 designated airports and 5 designated seaports. Major airports include Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Bangalore, and Hyderabad. You can exit from any Immigration Check Post in India.

This depends on the visa type. The 30-day tourist e-visa allows double entry, while the 1-year and 5-year tourist e-visas, as well as the business e-visa, allow multiple entries during their validity period.

Payment & Fees

We accept secure payments through PayPal, which allows you to pay with major credit cards, debit cards, or your PayPal account balance. All transactions are encrypted and secure.

We offer a 100% money-back guarantee if your visa application is rejected by the Indian government. Our service fees will be fully refunded. However, government processing fees (if applicable) are non-refundable as they are paid directly to immigration authorities.
