How to apply for an India visa from Norway

Norwegian citizens must obtain a visa before traveling to India. The Indian government has simplified this process by introducing the electronic visa (eVisa) system, which allows Norwegians to apply online without visiting an embassy. The eVisa system processes applications quickly, with most Norwegian applicants receiving their visas within 36 hours.

Types of Indian visas available for Norwegian citizens

The Indian government offers several visa categories for Norwegian travelers:
