Know more about an India e-Visa

What is the India e-Visa?

The India e-Visa is an electronic travel authorisation issued by the Government of India that allows eligible travellers to enter India for short-term visits.

The e-Visa is linked electronically to your passport and is intended for temporary travel only. It is available for specific purposes, such as tourism, medical treatment, and Ayush-related travel, depending on the selected visa category.

The India e-Visa does not permit paid employment, study, or long-term residence in India. Visa validity, permitted stay, number of entries, and entry conditions vary by visa category and the traveller’s nationality.
