What is an India e-Visa?

An India e-Visa is an electronic travel authorisation that allows eligible travellers to enter India for approved short-term purposes. The e-Visa is issued online and digitally linked to your passport, enabling Indian authorities to review your travel details before your arrival.

An India e-Visa is an official entry permission granted by the Government of India. It is not a physical visa label and does not require a visit to an embassy or consulate.

We assist travellers with applications for the following India e-Visa categories only

  • Tourist e-Visa

  • Business e-Visa

  • Medical e-Visa

  • Medical Attendant e-Visa

  • e-Ayush Visa

  • e-Ayush Attendant Visa

Visa Assistance

Who Needs an India e-Visa?

You need an India e-Visa if:

  • You are a citizen of a country eligible for the India e-Visa programme

  • You are travelling to India for tourism, business activities, medical treatment, or traditional Ayush therapy

  • You plan a short-term stay that complies with e-Visa conditions

  • You intend to enter India through approved e-Visa airports or seaports

Each traveller, including children and infants, must hold their own approved India e-Visa before travel.

Who Does Not Need an India e-Visa?

You may not need an India e-Visa if:

  • You are an Indian citizen

  • You hold a valid Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) card

  • You already hold a valid Indian visa obtained through an embassy, consulate, or other authorised channel

  • You are travelling under diplomatic or official passport arrangements that are exempt

Entry requirements are determined by nationality, passport type, and individual circumstances.

India e-Visa vs Regular Indian Visa

Whether you need an India e-Visa or a regular Indian visa depends on your nationality and the purpose of travel.

You may use an India e-Visa if you:

  • Are eligible based on nationality

  • Are visiting for tourism, visiting friends or relatives, business, medical, or Ayush-related purposes

  • Plan a short-term stay only

  • Do not intend to work, study, or undertake activities not permitted under e-Visa rules

You may need a regular Indian visa if you:

  • Are not eligible for the e-Visa scheme

  • Plan to work, study, intern, or carry out restricted activities

  • Intend to remain in India long term

  • Require longer stays or more flexible entry conditions, including multiple entries

An e-Visa is generally faster and simpler to obtain, but it is suitable only for specific travel purposes.

We can assist with your India e-Visa application and help ensure the information is completed accurately, so you can focus on planning your trip to India with confidence.

Start Application
How Long Can You Stay in India with an e-Visa?

The permitted length of stay depends on the e-Visa category issued and the traveller’s nationality.

You may use an India e-Visa if you:

  • Tourist e-Visas may allow stays of up to 30, 90, or 180 days, depending on the visa subtype and nationality. One-year and five-year tourist e-Visas permit multiple entries, but the total stay in India must not exceed 180 days in a calendar year.

  • Business, Medical, and e-Ayush e-Visas may allow longer validity and multiple entries, with limits on the duration of each stay as granted.

  • All stays must strictly comply with the conditions granted.

Final permission to enter India and the length of stay authorised are determined by Indian immigration officers upon arrival.

Entry, Health, and Compliance Requirements

All travellers entering India on an e-Visa must:

  • Hold a passport valid for at least six(6) months from the date of arrival

  • Comply with immigration, health, and security checks on arrival

  • Follow all conditions linked to their approved e-Visa category

Failure to comply with visa conditions may result in refusal of entry, penalties, or future travel restrictions.

Proof of Travel Plans and Financial Means

Travellers may be asked to present:

  • Proof of onward or return travel

  • Evidence of sufficient funds for the duration of their stay

  • Supporting documents related to their visa purpose, such as medical letters or business invitations

These checks are more commonly carried out at the port of entry, but travellers should be prepared to provide documentation if requested.

Documents Needed for an India e-Visa

In most cases, applicants will need:

  • A valid passport with at least six(6) months' validity from arrival in India

  • A recent digital passport-style photograph

  • A scanned copy of the passport bio page

  • A working email address

  • A debit or credit card for payment

Additional documents may be required depending on the e-Visa category, such as a business card, a hospital letter, or treatment details. All documentation is submitted online, and no physical documents are required at the time of application.

Applying for an India e-Visa

Applications for an India e-Visa are submitted through the official online system.

All personal and passport details must be entered exactly as shown on the passport. Even minor errors can delay processing or result in refusal.

Selecting the correct e-Visa category is essential.

India e-Visa Processing Time

Many India e-Visa applications are processed within a few working days, but processing times are not guaranteed.

Delays may occur if:

  • Additional checks are required

  • Information or documents need clarification

  • Application volumes are high

Travellers are strongly advised to apply well in advance of their intended travel date.

Validity of an India e-Visa

India e-Visa validity depends on the category issued and is counted from the date of approval.

Some e-Visas allow single, double, or multiple entries, with each stay subject to maximum permitted limits. Overstaying or breaching visa conditions can affect future travel to India.

Using an India e-Visa at the Border

Holding an approved India e-Visa does not guarantee entry.

Indian immigration officers may assess:

  • Purpose of travel

  • Intended length of stay

  • Supporting documentation

  • Travel history

  • Compliance with visa conditions

Entry is granted at the discretion of Indian immigration authorities.

Common Reasons for India e-Visa Refusal

An India e-Visa may be refused due to:

  • Incorrect or incomplete information

  • Selecting the wrong visa category

  • Previous immigration violations

  • Security, health, or legal concerns

Providing accurate, complete, and honest information is essential.

Transiting Through India

An India e-Visa is not always suitable for transit purposes.

Travellers transiting through India should confirm whether a transit visa or another visa type is required based on nationality, itinerary, and airport arrangements, even for short layovers.

India e-Visa and Passport Changes

An India e-Visa is linked to the passport used during the application.

If you obtain a new passport for any reason, you must apply for a new India e-Visa.
