Where and how to apply for a India visa
Foreign visitors to India usually apply for an e-Visa on the official Indian government portal, uploading a passport scan and a photograph and paying the fee online. Approval arrives by email as an electronic travel authorisation.
E-Visa categories include tourist, business and medical visas. The tourist e-Visa is offered in several durations, such as 30 days, one year and five years, subject to current government policy.
Processing timeline to plan around
- Many e-Visas are processed in a few days, but apply well ahead of arrival rather than at the last minute.
- The e-Visa must be used within its validity window, and entry is through designated airports and seaports.
- Keep a printed copy of the approval for the airport.
Common mistakes with India applications
- A photo or passport scan that does not meet the specification.
- Arriving through a port that is not on the e-Visa list.
- Using unofficial websites that charge extra fees.
- Applying for the wrong category, for example a tourist e-Visa for business meetings.
