What the e-Student visa allows
The e-Student visa lets you study in India on a course at a recognised institution. It is normally granted for up to one year, with multiple entries, so you can travel home during holidays. Longer courses may need the visa extending in India.
Bringing family: the e-Student Dependent visa
Your spouse or children can apply for an e-Student Dependent visa to live with you in India during your course. They need a copy of your e-Student visa and proof of their relationship to you, such as a marriage or birth certificate.
Documents that make the difference
Your admission letter must come from a recognised institution and match the course and dates in your application. Proof of funds should clearly show you can cover your fees and living costs. We check both before submitting.
