What the e-Visa means for you
The Indian e-Visa lets Guyanese citizens enter India without visiting an embassy. You complete the entire application online. The visa is electronically linked to your passport. It is valid for short stays for tourism, business, or medical treatment. You cannot extend or convert it while in India. Always check the official site for any changes to the scheme.
Before you travel and at the airport
Apply at least a few days before your flight on the official e-Visa website. You need a digital photo and a scan of your passport bio page. Pay the fee online. Once approved, you receive an electronic travel authorisation by email. Print a copy to carry. At the Indian airport, go to the e-Visa counter. Your fingerprints and photograph are taken on arrival.
Arriving in big cities and travelling between them
You can enter India through major international airports such as Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Kochi, as well as certain seaports. The e-Visa allows you to travel freely across most of India. You can move between states and cities by train, bus, or domestic flight. No additional permits are needed for most tourist destinations. Check if you need a special permit for restricted areas.
Staying longer, working or studying
The e-Visa is for short stays only. If you plan to work, study, or stay longer, you must apply for a regular visa at the Indian embassy or consulate before travel. Categories include employment visa, student visa, and entry visa. The official site indianvisaonline.gov.in lists all visa types. Apply well in advance. Rules and fees change, so always check the official site for current requirements.
