Comorian passport holders can apply for an Indian e-Visa, which allows entry for tourism, business, or medical visits. You must submit your application online before departure. The e-Visa is linked electronically to your passport. Always check the official e-Visa website for the latest eligibility and requirements before planning your trip.
What the e-Visa means for you
The Indian e-Visa simplifies the visa process for Comorian citizens. You do not need to visit an Indian embassy or consulate. Instead, you complete the entire application online. The e-Visa is an electronic travel authorisation that is sent to you by email. Print a copy to carry with your passport.
This visa covers tourism, short business trips, and medical treatment. It is valid for entry at designated airports and seaports. You cannot enter India by land border on an e-Visa. For other purposes such as work or study, you need a different visa from an Indian mission.
Before you travel and on arrival
You can enter India at any of the designated e-Visa airports, including major ones like Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad. Also, certain seaports accept e-Visa arrivals. Check the official site for the complete list of ports. Do not attempt to enter via a land border checkpoint.
Once inside India, you can travel freely between states and cities. Domestic flights, trains, and buses do not require additional permits for most destinations. However, some regions like parts of Northeast India and the Andaman Islands need special permits. Check local rules before travelling to these areas.
Staying longer, working or studying
The e-Visa is for short stays. If you wish to stay longer, work, or study in India, you must apply for a different visa category. These include employment visas, student visas, and entry visas. You cannot convert an e-Visa into another visa type while in India.
For long-term or specific purposes, contact the Indian embassy or consulate in Comoros. They can advise on the correct visa type and application process. Always check the official Bureau of Immigration website for the most current rules and requirements.
