Application quality checklist
- Enter your passport details for India exactly as printed — names, number, and expiry must match.
- Pick the option that matches your trip — India offers Tourist Evisa (Double Entries for 30 days), Tourist Evisa (Multiple Entries for 1 year), Tourist Evisa (Multiple Entries for 5 years).
- Upload clear, legible files: India decisions are document-based, so unreadable scans trigger most follow-up requests.
- Check your travel dates against the visa validity (commonly 30 days or 1 year) before you submit.
For India, most avoidable delays come from data mismatches and unclear uploads — not payment — so review every field against your passport before checkout.
