Apply for your India Tourist eVisa online

Most travelers are eligible for the India Tourist eVisa. You can't use it if you hold a Pakistani passport, are of Pakistani origin, or have a parent or grandparent who was born in or permanently lived in Pakistan, or if you travel on a Diplomatic or Official passport. In those cases, apply for a regular paper visa through an Indian Embassy.

It depends on the visa type you choose. The 30-day eVisa allows multiple entries, but the 30 days is a single window that starts on your first arrival, not 30 days per entry, so leaving and re-entering doesn't extend your total stay. On the 1-year or 5-year eVisa, most nationalities can stay up to 90 days per visit, while citizens of the US, UK, Canada, and Japan can stay up to 180 days per visit. Either way, your total time in India can't exceed 180 days in a calendar year, no matter how many trips you take.

Once approved, your eVisa will be sent to your email. While it is digitally linked to your passport, Indian law requires you to carry a physical printout for verification by immigration officers and hotels.

Processing time depends on the speed you choose — each option and its timing are shown on this page and at checkout. We review your application before it's submitted, so the small mistakes that most often cause delays get caught early.

Log into your iVisa account to see exactly where your application stands, and we'll email you as soon as it's approved. You can also check on the Indian government's eVisa portal under 'Check your Visa Status', which asks for the government application ID and your passport number. If you can't find that ID, our support team can help.

If your application is denied, you typically need to apply for a regular paper visa at an Indian Consulate. iVisa offers denial protection as an add-on to your application (optional).

The most common reasons are low-quality passport photos or typos in the passport number. iVisa flags any discrepancies before submission, to avoid the risk of rejection.

No. All India e-Visas are non-extendable and non-convertible. To stay longer, you must leave the country and apply for a new visa.

Yes, you must complete a mandatory digital e-Arrival Card and the Air Suvidha health declaration before your trip. These are two separate requirements on top of an eVisa. The old paper disembarkation forms have been phased out; the new digital version is a strict requirement for all foreign passport holders. When applying for an Indian eVisa or arrival card through iVisa, we'll automatically submit the health declaration on your behalf, for your convenience.

As of August 2026, the India eVisa is accepted at 88 designated gateways: 37 airports (including Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru), 38 seaports, and 13 land borders. The official portal can take a few days to reflect the newest additions, so confirm your entry point there before you book.
