Luxembourgish citizens can obtain an Indian e-Visa for tourism, business or medical visits. The application is completed entirely online through the official government website. You must apply at least a few days before your departure. The e-Visa is linked electronically to your passport. On arrival, proceed to the e-Visa counter at designated airports or seaports. Check the official site for the latest eligibility details.
What the e-Visa means for you
The Indian e-Visa allows Luxembourgish passport holders to enter India for short stays without visiting an Indian embassy or consulate. It covers tourism, business trips, and medical visits. The visa is electronically authorised and must be presented at immigration on arrival.
You must apply online at indianvisaonline.gov.in. The process requires a digital photograph and a scanned copy of the passport bio page. Payment is made online. After approval, you receive an electronic travel authorisation by email. Print a copy to carry with you.
Before you travel and on arrival
Before your trip, complete the e-Visa application and pay the fee online. Wait for the electronic travel authorisation to be emailed. Check the official site for current processing times. Do not book non-refundable travel until you receive approval.
On arrival at an Indian airport, look for the e-Visa counters. Have the printed authorisation and passport ready. Immigration officers will verify your details and may take your photograph and fingerprints. The process is straightforward for eligible nationalities.
Arriving in big cities and travelling
India's major international airports, such as those in Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Kolkata and Hyderabad, have e-Visa facilities. You can also arrive at certain seaports. From the airport, you can take a prepaid taxi or use app-based services to reach your accommodation.
Travelling between cities is easy by train, domestic flight or bus. The e-Visa permits travel throughout India. Keep the passport and visa authorisation with you at all times. For domestic flights, you may need to show the passport at check-in.
Staying longer, working or studying
The e-Visa is for short stays only. If you plan to work, study, or stay longer than the e-Visa allows, you must apply for a different visa category at the Indian embassy or consulate before travel. The e-Visa cannot be extended or converted to another visa type in India.
For employment, student, or long-term visas, contact the Indian embassy in Luxembourg or check the official visa website. These visas require additional documentation and processing time. Plan well ahead if the purpose is not covered by the e-Visa.
