Equatorial Guinean citizens can obtain an Indian e-Visa for tourism, business, or medical purposes. The application is submitted online at the official government portal. Approval grants an electronic travel authorisation, which you present on arrival at designated airports or seaports. Check the official site for current eligibility and terms before planning your trip.
What the e-Visa means
The Indian e-Visa allows Equatorial Guinean citizens to enter India for short stays without visiting an embassy. It covers tourism, business visits, and medical treatment. You apply entirely online, and the approved authorisation is sent by email. This simplifies the process for travellers from Equatorial Guinea, removing the need for paper applications or in-person appointments at an Indian mission.
Before you travel and on arrival
Before travelling, complete the e-Visa application on the official Indian visa website. You need a valid passport and a digital photo. After approval, carry a printed copy of the electronic travel authorisation. On arrival at an Indian airport designated for e-Visa holders, proceed to the e-Visa counters. Biometrics, including fingerprints, are taken at immigration. Keep your passport and authorisation ready.
Arriving in big cities and travelling
Major Indian cities such as Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, and Kolkata have airports that accept e-Visa holders. From there, you can travel between cities by domestic flights, trains, or buses. The e-Visa is valid for entry at specific airports and seaports only. Check the official site for the list of designated ports. Internal travel does not require additional permits for most tourist destinations.
Staying longer, working or studying
The e-Visa is for short stays only. For longer periods, employment, or study, you must apply for a regular visa at an Indian embassy or consulate. Categories include employment visa, student visa, and entry visa. These require additional documentation and processing. Always verify the latest requirements on the official Indian visa website, as rules change. Do not overstay your e-Visa.
