What the e-Visa Means
The e-Visa is an electronic travel authorisation linked to your passport. It removes the need to visit an Indian embassy or consulate in Senegal. You apply, pay, and receive the document entirely online. Print the authorised e-Visa and carry it with your passport when you travel.
Before You Travel and on Arrival
Apply on the official e-Visa website at least a few days before your departure. Upload a clear photo of yourself and the biographical page of your passport. Pay the visa fee online using a credit or debit card. Wait for the electronic travel authorisation to be emailed to you. Print a copy to present on arrival.
Arriving in India and Travelling Between Cities
You can enter India only at airports and seaports that are designated for e-Visa holders. Major international airports include Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Bengaluru, and Kolkata. On arrival, proceed to the e-Visa counter for biometrics: your fingerprints and photograph are taken. After clearance, you are free to travel within India.
Staying Longer, Working or Studying
The e-Visa is for short stays only. If you plan to work, study, or stay longer, you need a regular visa from an Indian mission. Check the official website of the Bureau of Immigration or the Indian embassy in Dakar for details. Visa rules change, so always verify the current requirements before you apply.
