Dominican (Dominica) citizens can apply for an Indian e-Visa online. This electronic travel authorisation allows tourism, business or medical visits.

Arrive at a designated airport or seaport.
What the e-Visa means in practice
The Indian e-Visa for Dominican (Dominica) citizens is an online authorisation that removes the need to visit an embassy. You apply from home, upload documents and pay the fee online. Once approved, you receive an electronic travel authorisation by email. Print a copy to carry with your passport.
The e-Visa covers short stays for tourism, business or medical treatment. It is not extendable or convertible to another visa type. You must leave India before the authorised period ends. Check the official site for the exact duration and entry conditions, as these can change.
Before you travel and on arrival
Apply online at indianvisaonline.gov.in at least a few days before your trip. You need a valid passport and a recent digital photograph. The application asks for travel details and a brief itinerary. Pay the fee online using a credit or debit card. Wait for the electronic travel authorisation email.
On arrival at an Indian airport, proceed to the e-Visa counter. The immigration officer checks your passport and the electronic authorisation. Biometrics, including fingerprints and a photograph, are taken at the counter. The process is straightforward. Ensure your passport has at least two blank pages.
Arriving in India's big cities and travelling between them
Major Indian airports that accept e-Visa holders include Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Kolkata, Hyderabad and Kochi. Some seaports also accept e-Visa arrivals. From the airport, you can take a prepaid taxi or use app-based transport. The city's metro or bus network connects to most areas.
Travelling between cities is easy by domestic flights, trains or buses. You do not need additional permits for most states. Some regions, such as parts of the northeast, require an Inner Line Permit. Check with the local authorities if your itinerary includes restricted areas. Keep your passport and e-Visa copy handy.
Staying longer, working or studying
The e-Visa is for short stays only. If you plan to work, study or stay longer, you need a different visa category. Apply for a regular visa at the Indian embassy in Dominica or a nearby consulate. These visas have separate requirements and processing times.
For employment, a work visa is required. For study, a student visa is necessary. Both require supporting documents from the employer or educational institution in India. Check the official Indian visa website for the full list of visa categories and application procedures. Do not overstay your e-Visa.
