Frequently Asked Questions

Q

Do Australian citizens need a visa to visit India?

Yes. Australian citizens are not eligible for visa-free entry to India, but they qualify for the India e-Visa — a fully online process with no embassy visit or appointment required. The Government of India typically issues approved e-Visas within 72–96 hours, emailed as a PDF.

Q

How long does India e-Visa processing take in 2026?

The Government of India typically processes standard e-Visa applications within 72–96 hours after submission. During peak travel season (October–March) allow additional time. We recommend applying at least 7 days before your flight. We offer prioritized document review for urgent travel, but final approval timelines are determined solely by the government.

Q

Can I extend my India e-Visa after I arrive in India?

No — the India e-Visa cannot be extended once you are inside India. If you need more time, you must exit the country and reapply from abroad. In exceptional medical circumstances, contact the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO).

Q

Is the India e-Visa valid for multiple entries?

It depends on the category. The e-Tourist Visa (30 days) permits double entry. The 1-year and 5-year e-Tourist Visas and the e-Business Visa allow unlimited multiple entries. The e-Medical Visa allows triple entry. You choose your category when applying.

Q

How far in advance should I apply for an India e-Visa?

You can apply between 4 and 120 days before your intended arrival date. Applying more than 120 days in advance is not possible. We recommend applying at least 7 days before travel to allow time for any government queries or document corrections.

Q

What happens if my India e-Visa application is rejected?

You can reapply immediately with corrected documents — there is no mandatory waiting period. The most common rejection causes are photo background issues (must be plain white), blurry passport scans, and mismatched travel dates. Our document review team checks every application before submission to prevent rejections.

Q

Is the India e-Visa validity counted from the date of issue or my arrival date?

From the date of issue. If your 1-year e-Tourist Visa is issued on 1 June 2026, it expires on 31 May 2027 regardless of when you first enter India. Plan your travel window accordingly.
