India visa for Jordanian citizens
Jordanian citizens can apply online for an Indian e-Visa (tourist, business, medical or conference categories) on the official Government of India site before travelling.
Check the official site before you travel. imptpune.in is a hotel and travel site; it does not issue visas. Visa rules change: confirm on indianvisaonline.gov.in.

Jordanian citizens are eligible for the Indian e-Visa, which allows tourism, business, or medical visits. You apply online at indianvisaonline.gov.in, upload required documents, and pay the fee electronically. Once approved, you receive an electronic travel authorisation by email. Carry a printout and your passport when you travel. The e-Visa is valid for entry at designated airports and seaports. Always check the official site for the latest requirements before applying.
What the e-Visa Means
The e-Visa simplifies entry for Jordanian citizens. You do not need to visit an embassy or consulate. The entire application is completed online, and the approved authorisation is sent to your email. This saves time and reduces paperwork.
The e-Visa covers tourism, business, and medical visits. It is not for work or long-term study. For those purposes, you need a different visa category. Check the official site to confirm which e-Visa type matches your purpose of travel.
Before You Travel and On Arrival
Apply online at indianvisaonline.gov.in at least a few days before your planned departure. Have your passport, a recent photograph, and a scanned copy of the passport's bio page ready. The application form asks for personal details, travel plans, and a declaration.
After approval, you receive an electronic travel authorisation. Print it and keep it with your passport. On arrival at an Indian airport or seaport, go to the e-Visa counter. Biometrics may be taken. Immigration officers will check your passport and authorisation.
Arriving in Big Cities and Moving Around
Major international airports in Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad accept the e-Visa. From there, you can travel within India by train, domestic flight, or road. Carry your passport and a copy of your e-Visa at all times.
When moving between cities, you may need to show your passport at hotel check-ins or when booking transport. Keep digital copies of your e-Visa and passport on your phone as a backup. Some states may require you to register with local authorities if you stay long, but this is rare for short visits.
Staying Longer, Working or Studying
The e-Visa is not for employment or long-term study. If you plan to work, study, or stay beyond the e-Visa's validity, you must apply for a regular visa at an Indian mission. The process is different and may require an interview.
For work, you need an employment visa; for study, a student visa. These visas are issued by Indian embassies or consulates. Check the official website of the Indian mission in Jordan for details. Rules change, so confirm current procedures before applying.
