When Do You Need the 5-year Indian e-Visa?

โ€‹

If India is a regular part of your life: family you visit, business that brings you back, or holidays you know you'll repeat, the 5-year visa means you only go through this once. 

No renewing every year. No resubmitting the same documents each time you travel.

HOW IT WORKS

How Your 5-Year Indian e-Visa Works?

  • โ—Multiple entries, unlimited trips.Come and go as many times as you like over the full five years, with no need to reapply between visits.
  • โ—180 days per visit, every time.Each individual stay is capped at 180 days, no matter how many trips you take across the five-year period.
  • โ—Your five years start the day your visa is approved, not the day you land.Unlike shorter eVisas, your 5-year clock starts ticking as soon as it's granted, so apply with your first trip in mind rather than months in advance.
  • โ—Fixed once issued.Your visa can't be extended, converted to another type, or extended beyond its five-year term once you're in India, so plan longer stays around the 180-day-per-visit limit.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

No. India Tourist eVisas cannot be extended or converted once you are in India โ€” this applies to the 5-year eVisa too. Each visit is capped at 180 days regardless of how long the visa itself remains valid; if you need to stay longer, you must leave and re-enter on a fresh permitted stay.
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.
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 โ€” check the official India eVisa portal before you travel.
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.
Processing time begins once your documents are confirmed complete and payment is received. We recommend applying at least 7โ€“10 days before travel to allow time for any corrections.
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.
In most cases for electronic applications, no physical passport submission is needed. We guide you on digital documents and any exceptions.
Typical processing is 3-5 working days (eVisa: 72 hours), depending on nationality, visa type and authority workload.
Our team will contact you immediately with a clear checklist and formatting guidance so you can respond quickly.
As many times as you like over the five years, with each individual visit capped at a maximum of 180 days.
If you expect to travel to India more than roughly once every year or two, yes โ€” one 5-year application usually works out cheaper and less admin than repeat 1-year applications. If you're only planning a single trip, the 30-day or 1-year option may suit you better; see "Which India visa do you need?" above.
Your passport must meet the 6-month validity requirement at the time of each entry, not just when you apply. If your passport will expire partway through the visa's 5-year life, you'll need a new visa application linked to your renewed passport.
