Indian Visa Requirements

All foreigners need a visa to travel to India. The easiest option is the India eVisa, which can be done entirely online!

Steps to Apply:

  • Choose e-Visa by Bureau of Immigration, then click Apply Here for e-Visa.

  • Fill out the application (have your passport, photo, and flight info ready).

    • Please note that the e-Visa cannot be filled out until 30 days before your travel date. This applies for the 30 day travel visa.

    • The 1 year travel visa can be filled out 120 days before your travel date.

  • Pay the visa fee (usually around $25–$40).

  • You’ll receive your visa by email within 3-5 business days.

Validity:

  • Good for 30 days or up to 1 year depending on the type selected

Pro Tips:

  • Apply as soon as possible.

  • Your visa photo should have a plain, white background.
