Rules to know before you travel

How long you can stay

The visa is valid for 6 months with multiple entries.

It can’t be extended or changed

An e-Visa can’t be extended or switched to another type of visa once you’re in India, so choose the right one before you travel.

Arrive at an approved airport or seaport

You must enter India through one of the airports or seaports approved for e-Visas. All the main international airports are included, such as Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Goa and Kochi. You can leave from any immigration checkpoint.

Who can’t use an e-Visa

People of Pakistani origin, anyone with a military, police or security background (serving or retired), and holders of diplomatic or official passports must apply for a regular visa instead.

Fill in the e-Arrival card

Before you fly, complete India’s free e-Arrival card online within 72 hours of arrival. It’s arrival information, not a visa. How the e-Arrival card works

No protected areas

An e-Visa isn’t valid for protected, restricted or cantonment areas. Visiting places such as parts of the North East, Sikkim or the Andaman Islands may need a separate permit.

Can’t use an e-Visa?

Pakistani origin, a military or police background, work, journalism or a longer stay all need a regular visa. We help with those too.

The government fee is set by India and depends on your nationality. It isn’t refundable, even if the visa is refused. Our fee is per person and includes checking your documents, fixing your photo and scans, and submitting your application.

No “express” fees. The Indian government doesn’t sell faster e-Visas, so we don’t either. Our job is getting your application right first time.

Is the e-Production Investment visa right for me?

Most business visits, including meetings with potential partners, use the e-Business visa. The e-Production Investment visa is a newer category for investment in production. Call us and we’ll tell you which fits your trip.

Questions people ask

How long is the e-Production Investment visa valid?

The official e-Visa site lists it as valid for 6 months with multiple entries.

How early should I apply?

At least 4 days before you arrive in India, and no more than 120 days before. We recommend applying 2 to 3 weeks ahead in case anything needs correcting.

Is the e-Visa fee refundable if I’m refused?

No. The Government of India’s e-Visa fee pays for processing your application, so it isn’t refunded if the visa is refused or you cancel your trip. That’s why we check everything before you pay it.
