India visa policy

India’s visa policy includes several options depending on the traveler’s nationality and purpose of visit. Citizens of Nepal and Bhutan can enter India without a visa or passport and may live and work in the country without time restrictions.


Nationals from many countries are eligible for an electronic visa (e-Visa) for tourism, business, medical, or conference purposes, which typically allows stays of up to 60 days and permits double or triple entry through designated ports. India also offers a Visa on Arrival to select nationalities, such as Japan and South Korea. This visa is valid for up to 60 days and is limited to specific airports.


Travelers needing longer stays or with purposes not covered by the e-Visa must apply for a regular sticker visa through an Indian consulate. Overseas Citizens of India (OCI) and Persons of Indian Origin (PIO) can live and work in India without a visa, though this does not apply to citizens of Bangladesh and Pakistan.

FAQs

This depends on the visa you’re issued. If you’re unclear, you can contact us on WhatsApp – we're available 24/7.

We’ll process your eVisa as fast as fastest processing speed – you’ll see the exact time during checkout.

Not quite. Your eVisa lets you enter through 26 specific airports (like Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, etc.) and five seaports (including Cochin and Chennai). But the good news? You can leave India from any authorized Immigration Check Post.

Only if you’re coming from a country where yellow fever is a risk. In that case, make sure you have your Yellow Fever Vaccination card with you when you arrive – otherwise, you might be quarantined for 6 days.

If you’re staying in the airport transit zone and not going through immigration, you don’t need a visa.

Yes – you can apply for an eVisa up to three times in a calendar year (January to December).

We offer Denial Protection, a service that guarantees a 100% refund of your application fee if the government rejects your visa. This refund does not include the denial protection fee or government fees.

We recommend applying at least 4 days before you arrive, but you can apply up to 120 days in advance.

That depends on your visa type:

  • Tourist and Business eVisas: 60 days with 2 entries allowed

  • Medical eVisa: 60 days with 3 entries allowed

No – if you need to stay longer, you’ll have to contact the Indian Embassy to explore your options.
