Question 1

What is India eVisa?

Accepted Answer

India eVisa (Electronic Travel Authorization) is an online visa that allows eligible foreign nationals to visit India for tourism, business, medical treatment, or conferences. It is issued 100% online — no embassy visit or passport submission required. The eVisa is linked electronically to your passport and valid for entry through 28 designated international airports and 5 seaports.

Question 2

How do I apply for India eVisa?

Accepted Answer

Apply for India eVisa online by completing the application form, uploading a passport scan (PDF, 10–300 KB) and a recent photo (JPEG, white background), then paying the government fee by card. Our expert team reviews your documents before submission to ensure no errors. Approval arrives by email in 24–72 hours. Print two copies of the approval to present at immigration.

Question 3

How long is India eVisa valid?

Accepted Answer

India eVisa comes in three durations: 30-day eVisa (double entry, stay up to 30 days), 1-year eVisa (multiple entry, stay up to 90 days per visit), and 5-year eVisa (multiple entry, stay up to 90 days per visit). The validity starts from the date of issue, not the date of arrival. Choose the 1-year or 5-year option if you plan to visit India more than once.

Question 4

How much does India eVisa cost?

Accepted Answer

India eVisa fees are set by the Government of India: approximately $25 USD for the 30-day tourist eVisa, $40 USD for the 1-year tourist eVisa, and $80 USD for the 5-year tourist eVisa or any business/medical eVisa. Fees are non-refundable and payable in USD by credit or debit card.

Question 5

Which countries are eligible for India eVisa?

Accepted Answer

Citizens of over 170 countries are eligible for India eVisa, including the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, all EU member states, Japan, Singapore, UAE, and many more. Pakistan, Bangladesh, and a few other nationalities must apply for a traditional visa at an Indian embassy. Check eligibility on our directory page before applying.

Question 6

What are the photo requirements for India eVisa?

Accepted Answer

India eVisa photo must be: JPEG format, plain white background, full face front-facing view with eyes open, no glasses, face occupying 70–80% of the frame, taken within the last 6 months, file size between 10 KB and 1 MB. Selfies, photos with colored backgrounds, or photos where glasses are worn are automatically rejected and cause application delays.

Question 7

How many times can I enter India on an eVisa?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the eVisa type you choose. The 30-day tourist eVisa allows 2 entries (double entry). The 1-year and 5-year tourist eVisas allow unlimited entries (multiple entry) with each stay limited to 90 consecutive days. The business eVisa (1 year) also allows multiple entry with up to 180 days per visit.

Question 8

Can I extend my India eVisa?

Accepted Answer

India eVisa cannot be extended. If you need to stay longer, you must leave India and re-apply for a new eVisa. However, exceptions are sometimes granted by the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO) in genuine medical emergencies. For long-term stays, consider applying for a regular sticker visa through the Indian embassy instead.

Question 9

What happens if my India eVisa is rejected?

Accepted Answer

India eVisa rejections most commonly occur due to photo errors (wrong background, glasses), passport validity issues (less than 6 months remaining), or data entry mistakes (name/date mismatch with passport). The government fee is non-refundable. You can re-apply immediately with corrected information. Our expert review service is designed to catch these issues before submission.
