Attention: This visa type is only for entry by
airplane (and through the seaports of Chennai, Cochin, Goa, Mangalore, or Mumbai).
The Business-ETA allows business travelers to enter India for 365 days (for multiple
entries, with a maximum stay of 180 days per entry). The visa can be applied for no earlier than 4
months before entry.
The Tourist-ETA is also issued for 1 year – for multiple entries with a stay of up
to 90 days per entry. The visa can be applied for no earlier than 4 months before entry. Tourists also
have the option to apply for a visa valid for 5 years.
If traveling for stationary medical treatment, a visa is granted for a total stay of 60 days (counted
from the first entry) with a total of three entries within this period.
Applications can be made no earlier than 120 days before the first entry. If you are entering
overland, visiting other seaports during a cruise other than Chennai, Cochin, Goa, Mangalore, or
Mumbai, wish to stay for more than 90 consecutive days for private purposes, or are traveling for more
than 90 days, you will need the conventional India visa.

if necessary.
