What the e-Visa means in practice
The Indian e-Visa is an electronic travel authorisation linked to your passport. It removes the need to visit an Indian embassy or consulate in person. You apply entirely online, upload documents, and pay the fee. Once approved, you receive the authorisation by email. Print it and carry it with your passport when you travel.
The e-Visa is valid for entry at specific international airports and seaports in India. It is not valid for land border crossings. On arrival, immigration officers may ask to see your return ticket and proof of sufficient funds. Keep a copy of your e-Visa confirmation with you at all times during your stay.
Before you travel and on arrival
Arriving in India's big cities and travelling between them
Major cities such as Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, and Kolkata have e-Visa-designated airports. From there, you can take a prepaid taxi, app-based ride, or airport bus to your accommodation. For travel between cities, you can use domestic flights, trains, or long-distance buses. The e-Visa allows you to move freely within India during your stay.
When travelling between cities, keep your passport and e-Visa copy with you. Some states may require you to register with the local police if you stay for an extended period. Hotels usually handle this for you. For short trips, no extra registration is needed. Always carry a photocopy of your visa and passport.
Staying longer, working or studying
The e-Visa is intended for short stays for tourism, business, or medical reasons. If you plan to stay longer, work, or study in India, you need a different visa category. Apply for a long-term visa, employment visa, or student visa at the Indian embassy in Paris or the nearest consulate. These visas require a separate application process and supporting documents.
For any visa that is not the e-Visa, you must apply through the Indian embassy or consulate. Check the official website of the Indian embassy in France for the correct application form and requirements. Processing times for these visas are longer. Plan your application well in advance of your intended travel date.
