How long does an India visa take from the UK?

How long can UK citizens stay in India?
The 30-day Tourist eVisa permits stays of up to 30 days. Longer-validity Tourist and Business eVisas generally permit stays of up to 180 days, subject to the conditions on the issued visa.
How do I apply for an India eVisa from the UK?
You can apply through the Indian government's official portal or through a specialist service like ours. The process involves completing an online form, uploading your photo and passport scan, and paying the visa fee. We guide you through each step, check your documents and submit on your behalf — the time required depends on the applicant and the information available.
Can I get an India visa on arrival?
No. India does not offer a visa on arrival for British citizens. You must obtain an eVisa before you travel. Arriving without a valid visa will result in being refused entry.
How much does an India eVisa cost for UK citizens?
Select a visa above to see the current total price before payment. The total includes the applicable government fee and our professional service fee.
How many times can I enter India on an eVisa?
This depends on the visa type. The 30-day Tourist eVisa allows multiple entries. Longer-validity Tourist eVisas, Business eVisas and Conference eVisas allow multiple entries. Medical eVisas allow multiple entries.
Can I extend my India eVisa once I'm in the country?
No. India eVisas cannot be extended once you are in the country. If you need to stay longer, you must leave India and apply for a new visa. We recommend planning your trip carefully within your permitted stay.
Can I get an India eVisa if I was born in Pakistan?
No. British citizens of Pakistani origin are not eligible for an India eVisa. You will need to apply for a sticker visa in person at the Indian High Commission in London. Processing times are substantially longer than for standard eVisa applications.
