Indian eVisa payment not working: Solutions and troubleshooting

Experiencing issues with your Indian eVisa application payment can be frustrating, but understanding the common problems and their solutions can help streamline your application process.

We have assisted thousands of travelers in successfully completing their Indian eVisa applications, and we're here to help you navigate through any payment challenges.

Common payment issues for the Indian eVisa application

Some of the most common issues encountered by applicants are:

• Technical limitations with payment gateways.
• International transaction restrictions.
• Security protocol mismatches.
• Browser compatibility issues.

Another frequent issue is difficulties with their credit or debit cards. This could be due to an expired card or reaching the credit limit.

Before attempting payment, ensure your card is valid, has sufficient funds, and that all information matches the card details exactly. If your payment is declined, don't immediately retry with the same card. Wait 30 minutes and try using a different browser or device.

iVisa Pro Tip: Many applicants have found success using cards from smaller regional banks, as they often still use the 3D Secure technology required by the Indian eVisa portal.
