Frequently asked questions about the India Tourist eVisa

Do I need an eVisa or paper visa to travel to India for tourism?

Most travelers are eligible for the India Tourist eVisa. However, if you are of Pakistani origin or hold a Diplomatic passport, you must apply for a traditional paper visa through an Indian Embassy.

How long can I stay in India with a Tourist eVisa?

Depending on the visa type you choose:

30-day visa: Double-entry, valid for 30 days from arrival.
1-year or 5-year visa: Multiple-entry, allowing stays up to 90 or 180 days per calendar year, depending on your nationality.

How will I receive the India Tourist eVisa?

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.

If you’ve applied through iVisa, you can find a copy of your visa and e-Arrival card QR code in your dashboard.

How long does India Tourist eVisa processing take?

The India Tourist eVisa is usually processed in 3-5 days. With iVisa, you can get your India Tourist eVisa in as little as 3 days (depending on application details and chosen delivery speed).

We recommend applying at least two weeks before your departure date to account for any unexpected government delays.

What happens if my India Tourist eVisa application is denied?

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).

What are the most common reasons for an India Tourist eVisa application to be denied?

The most common reasons are low-quality passport photos or typos in the passport number.

iVisa’s expert review catches any errors to avoid delays and meet all Indian government document requirements before submission.

Can I extend my India Tourist eVisa?

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.

Do I need an Arrival Card for India if I have an eVisa?

Yes, you must complete a mandatory digital e-Arrival Card before your trip.

The old paper disembarkation forms have been phased out; the new digital version is a strict requirement for all foreign passport holders. You must fill this out within 72 hours of your arrival in India. After submission, you will receive a QR code which you must present at the airline boarding gate and to immigration officers upon arrival.

Note: You can apply for both the eVisa and Arrival card at the same time through iVisa.

Can I enter the country at any border with the India Tourist eVisa?

As of 2026, the India eVisa is accepted at 51 designated gateways, including 33 international airports (like Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru), 14 seaports, and 4 land borders.
