FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I extend my India Tourist eVisa once I'm in the country?

No. India Tourist eVisas cannot be extended or converted once you are in India. If you need to stay longer, you must leave and apply for a new visa before re-entering. Plan your trip carefully within your permitted stay period.

Can I use a Tourist eVisa for yoga retreats or short courses?

Yes, with conditions. Short-term yoga programmes and informal courses in language, music, dance, arts, cooking or medicine are permitted, provided the course does not exceed 6 months and does not issue a formal qualification or certificate. A letter from the institute on official letterhead is required.

Which ports of entry can I use with a Tourist eVisa?

You must enter India through one of 31 designated international airports or 5 designated seaports. Entry at land borders is not permitted on a Tourist eVisa. You may exit India through any authorised immigration checkpoint. The full official list is maintained by the Indian government and may be updated — check the official India eVisa portal before you travel.

What happens if my application is rejected?

If your application is rejected, we will contact you promptly to advise on the reason and next steps. In most cases, rejections are due to document issues that can be corrected and resubmitted. The government visa fee is non-refundable, but our team will do everything possible to resolve the issue before your travel date.

How long does the Tourist eVisa take to process?

Processing time begins once your documents are confirmed complete and payment is received. We recommend applying at least 7–10 days before travel to allow time for any corrections.

How many times can I enter India on a Tourist eVisa?

The 30-day Tourist eVisa allows double entry. The 1-year and 5-year Tourist eVisas allow multiple entries, with a maximum stay of 180 days per visit.
