Frequently Asked Questions

Can UK citizens rely on visa on arrival for India?
In most cases, UK travellers should complete the electronic authorization process before travel rather than rely on arrival-only processing.
What is the safest route for smooth entry?
Apply in advance using the relevant India eVisa category and carry all supporting documents in print and digital form.
Is this the same as India ETA?
This page explains policy context. ETA remains the practical pre-travel route for most eligible travellers.
What if my travel purpose changes?
Your visa category must match your actual purpose. If plans change, update your application route before departure.
