Important notes before you apply

  • Requirements vary: eVisa eligibility and document rules can change based on your nationality and travel history—always double-check before submitting.
  • Processing is an estimate: timelines shown on our site are estimates; additional reviews or security checks may cause delays.
  • Approval isn’t guaranteed: we help you prepare and submit accurate, complete documentation. If your application is rejected, review the reason provided and correct the issues for the best chance on resubmission.
  • Fees & refunds: government fees are often non-refundable; service refunds follow our Understand eligibility for service refunds.

When traveling to India, you must carry these essential documents:

Required Documents:

  • Original Passport: Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended stay, with at least 2 blank pages for entry stamps
  • Printed eVisa Approval Letter: Print multiple copies (keep one with you, one in luggage, digital copy on phone)
  • Return or Onward Flight Tickets: Proof of departure from India
  • Proof of Sufficient Funds: Bank statements, credit cards, or traveler's checks
  • Accommodation Proof: Hotel bookings or invitation letters
  • Yellow Fever Certificate: If arriving from yellow fever risk countries

Additional Recommendations:

  • Travel insurance documents
  • Emergency contact information
  • Copies of all important documents (stored separately)
  • Digital copies on mobile device or cloud storage

Important: Keep physical copies as backup. Immigration officers may request to see these documents upon arrival.

For structured fees, documents, and processing times, see Visa requirements for India.

Quick checklist (to reduce rejection risk)

  • Accuracy: make sure every entry matches your passport exactly.
  • Documents: upload clear, legible scans/photos in the required format.
  • Travel dates: confirm dates and entry/exit details are consistent across your documents.
  • Contact info: provide a reachable email/phone for any clarifications during review.
