Once granted, the India e-Visa comes with specific entry conditions that travelers must follow. The e-Visa cannot be extended or converted into another visa type, and travelers are not allowed to visit restricted, protected, or cantonment areas without additional permits. Each traveler, including minors, must obtain their own e-Visa. Additionally, those arriving in India by cruise ship are required to have an approved e-Visa before boarding.
Travelers must understand the differences between an India e-Visa and a consular visa. While an e-Visa is applied for online and approved electronically, a regular paper visa requires an in-person visit to an embassy or consulate. The primary distinction lies in the application process, eligibility requirements, and validity period. While the e-Visa is convenient for short-term travel, individuals planning longer stays or requiring multiple re-entries for extended periods may need to apply for a traditional visa.
India offers several eVisa options, each designed to match different travel purposes. Travelers can apply for a Tourist eVisa with a validity of 30 days, 1 year, or 5 years, depending on how frequently they plan to visit. Those traveling for professional reasons can opt for a Business eVisa, which covers meetings, trade activities, and conferences. For those seeking medical treatment at recognized Indian hospitals, a Medical eVisa is available. Each visa type comes with its own specific entry rules. For example, the 5-year Tourist eVisa allows multiple entries with stays of up to 180 days per visit for citizens of the United States, the United Kingdom, and Japan. It's important to choose the eVisa that aligns with your travel plans to avoid any complications at the border.
The cost of an India e-Visa varies depending on the type and validity of the visa. The 30-day tourist e-Visa is priced at $10 when applying between April and June, while applications submitted between July and March are charged $25. The 1-year tourist e-Visa has a fixed fee of $40, while the 5-year option costs $80. The maximum stay permitted depends on the visa duration, with the 30-day visa allowing a double entry of up to 30 days per visit, the 1-year visa permitting multiple entries with a total stay of 180 days in a calendar year, and the 5-year visa allowing multiple entries with a maximum stay of 90 days per visit, or 180 days for citizens of the United States, the United Kingdom, and Japan.
Business e-Visas have varying fees based on nationality and urgency. Payment for all e-Visa applications can be made through credit or debit cards, or PayPal, depending on the applicant’s location and preferred method. Natvisa guarantees a smooth process, and if the approved e-Visa is not delivered within the selected service level, the applicant is eligible for a full refund.
Common reasons for rejection include:
1. Incomplete or incorrect information in the application.
2. Uploaded documents (passport scan or photo) not meeting the specified requirements.
3. Applying for an eVisa type not suitable for your purpose of travel.
4. Providing false or inconsistent information.
- Confirm all required documents were uploaded correctly during the application.
- Check for communication requesting additional information or clarifications.
- For assistance, contact Natvisa Support.
Once your e-Visa is processed, approved and issued, changes to the details are not possible. If there is an error, you will need to apply for a new e-Visa with the correct information.
