The Indian Government launched an online eVisa in 2014. Since then, it has expanded to allow travelers from over 160 countries to apply for a Tourist, Business, or Medical eVisa to India.
Travelers can now apply for a Tourist eVisa with either 1 month, 1 year, or 5 years of validity, allowing for double or multiple entries, according to the validity.
Travelers who use the eVisa program apply and pay a fee online, and then receive their electronic visa via email before traveling to India. Yes, it’s that simple.
The eVisa is an official document permitting entry into and travel within India. Applicants will receive their visas via email after filling out the application form with the necessary information and once the online credit card payment is completed/verified.
