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. You apply entirely online and receive the approval by email. Print the authorisation and carry it with your passport when you travel.
The e-Visa is available for tourism, business, and medical purposes. Each category has its own application form. You cannot extend or convert an e-Visa while in India. If you need a longer stay or a different purpose, you must apply for a regular visa from an Indian mission abroad.
Before you travel and on arrival
Apply for the e-Visa at least a few days before your departure. You need a valid passport, a digital photo, and a scanned copy of the passport's data page. Complete the online form, upload the documents, and pay the fee online. You will receive the electronic travel authorisation by email.
On arrival at an Indian airport, proceed to the e-Visa counter. Present your passport and printed authorisation. The immigration officer will take your photograph and fingerprints. This biometric enrolment is a standard procedure for all e-Visa holders.
Arriving in India's big cities and travelling between them
You can enter India through any of the designated e-Visa airports, including Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Kochi. Some seaports also accept e-Visa arrivals. Check the official site for the complete list of entry points.
Once inside India, you are free to travel between states and cities. The e-Visa does not restrict your movement within the country. You must carry your passport and a copy of the e-Visa at all times. Police or hotel staff may ask to see them.
Staying longer, working or studying
The e-Visa is for short stays. If you wish to work, study, or stay longer than the e-Visa allows, you must apply for a regular visa from an Indian embassy or consulate before you travel. Categories include employment visa, student visa, and entry visa.
Check the official site indianvisaonline.gov.in for details on other visa categories. The site provides application forms, fee information, and a list of supporting documents. You cannot change your visa type after arriving in India.
