How It Works

The Indian Government issues two types of visas: An e-Visa (electronic visa) and a traditional visa stamped into your passport.

The Indian e Tourist or e Business visa will be processed and issued electronically and sent to you by email.
When the traveler arrives in India, they will need to have biometric information taken at the airport and their passport will be stamped with the actual traditional visa.

TravelDocs recommends applying for an India e Visa if you only require a short validity visa of no more than one year. If a multiple entry visa with longer validity terms is required, please apply for the traditionally stamped visa.

Tourist Indian e Visa: Has three different validities and number of possible entries into India to choose from allowing for greater flexibility for tourists.
