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 Refund Policy.

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.

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.

If your application is rejected

  • Read the reason: the rejection notice typically indicates the exact field or document issue.
  • Fix what’s required: correct the issue and avoid resubmitting without changes.
  • Service refunds: service refunds may apply depending on the situation—see Refund Policy.
