I’m heading to Delhi from Amsterdam on a tourist visa, but I've just been invited to attend a conference while I'm there. Can I change my current Tourist eVisa to a Business eVisa, or should I start a new application?

Unfortunately, you cannot change your current Tourist eVisa to a Business eVisa. The eVisa once issued is non-extendable, non-convertible, and not valid for visiting Protected/Restricted and Cantonment Areas. Therefore, if you've been invited to attend a conference while in Delhi, you should apply for a new Business eVisa.

I’m from London and I recently used a business visa for a trip to Bangalore. I absolutely loved India and I’m thinking about going back for a vacation. Do I need to apply for a separate tourist visa for this, or can I use my existing business visa for my vacation?
