India e-Tourist visa options
The e-Tourist visa covers holidays, visiting friends and family, short yoga courses and similar trips. There are three options:
- 30 days, allowing two entries
- 1 year, allowing multiple entries
- 5 years, allowing multiple entries
The longer visas still limit how long you can stay on each visit, and the limit depends on your nationality. We'll tell you what applies to you.
How to apply
The application is made online with a scan of your passport photo page and a digital photo. You'll answer questions about your family, occupation, travel history and references in India and the UK. Once approved, the eVisa is linked to your passport and you show the approval when you arrive.
Apply at least 4 days before travelling. You must enter India through one of the designated airports or seaports.
Avoid these common mistakes
The most common problems are photos with the wrong background or size, passport scans that are blurred, and answers that don't match your passport exactly. If anything is wrong, the application can be rejected, and the fee isn't refunded. Our online form reads your passport and fills in your details automatically, then we check everything before submitting.
