India Visa for French citizens (2026)

Can French citizens get a India eVisa?

India grants online eligibility to French citizens across 8 visa options such as Tourist Evisa (Double Entries for 30 days), Tourist Evisa (Multiple Entries for 1 year), Tourist Evisa (Multiple Entries for 5 years). India currently supports Double Entries or Multiple Entries for 1 year or Multiple Entries for 5 years or Triple Entries for 60 days or Single Entry for 30 days, with a permitted stay of 30 days or 365 days. Government fees range from US$50.00 to US$130.00, depending on the visa type. Standard processing is typically 3 working days, with faster options around 1 working day.

Documents and tips for French travellers

French passports are issued for 10 years to adults; confirm the remaining validity meets the destination’s requirement beyond your departure. Charges are typically in US dollars, so French applicants should expect a EUR-to-USD conversion at checkout. The most common avoidable mistake for French citizens: assuming a French passport’s broad visa-free access applies everywhere — several destinations still require an eVisa.

• Use the exact spelling and accents handling from your French passport’s machine-readable zone.
• Check the eVisa requirement per destination, as it can differ from general Schengen-area travel habits.
• Apply a few days early to leave room for any document clarification.
