India e-Visa | How To Apply Online🇮🇳

[@Mikes_Travels]

I'm visiting India for the first time from the UK in February for a month. Really useful info, thank you

[@AlwaysonaJourney]

You're welcome. I hope you enjoy your trip.

[@srkian2591]

You book any hotel and flight tickets for visa? Or without booking hotel and flight they give visa? Because I also want to apply

[@AlwaysonaJourney]

No need to show proof of flights or hotel booking.

[@AlwaysonaJourney]

That's kind of you to offer.

[@michaelsrowland]

How much was the visa?

[@MetroRatRace]

Best video ever! The fact that you did a visual walk through was so very helpful. I had been stumbling upon the question at 11:00 where it asked if you’ve visited before. I received an EVisa in 2020 but of course we all know what happened during the year of the pandemic. Your video showed that you can just select “no” and it won’t require you to enter the old EVisa number below. I wasn’t sure if I had to enter an old EVisa that I never got to use and long since expired due to Covid (I didn’t want to cause confusion or questions). I tried contacting their help desk but got different answers. Your video literally answered my question! Thank you!!!

[@AlwaysonaJourney]

Excellent. I'm glad that it helped. :-)

[@AlwaysonaJourney]

You are great 👍🏻! I was so confused where and how to apply!!! now I am so happy to came across your clip. Bless you!😅 The only thing is bugging me is uploading photo in the right size and format they want with my iPhone!!

If you are reading this, PLEASE, do not leave it til the last minute and apply as soon as you can.

[@soundssensational4568]

Good presentation. It CAN be as straightforward as you suggest but submitting a pdf of passport page less that 300kb caused me enormous difficulty and I am not alone looking online. If you are visiting a second time you are required to list all the places visited previously plus the address of first stop. You are also required to list all countries visited in last 10 years. If you save and come back to complete the application the question about whether you have grandparents with Pakistani connections always defaults back to ‘yes’. If the answer is no make sure you change it!

[@AlwaysonaJourney]

Hello. I agree with you that changing the size of the photo makes things complicated. It definitely did for me and I needed to ask for help. Thanks for sharing your experience regarding the granparents in Pakistan. ;-)

[@Eclectic_RN]

It does NOT defalt to "Yes," there is a pop-up that you must close then you can switch to "no," try another browser, you probably have pop-ups blocked--that locks you out as the system wants you to click OK on the darned pop-up.

[@MyMr1212]

I was born in Srilanka not very far away from India but never got to visit India mainly I moved to UK in my young age. Im planning to visit India in April for the first time with my family.

Very helpful sir hower, when the application says "have you lived at least 2 years in the country where you are applying visa" does that mean the country where i reside? Or the country that i get the visa for?

Thanks for the help! Is there a problem if the expected arrival date is little different than arriving? I want to apply visa first but dont have the plane tickets yet and not the exact date of arriving.

You can get a visa without an airplane ticket

[@ViralMoviesAv-kq6ew]

I am from India. You will come to our country as a guest. Tell me how can I help you?

[@Igaveyoumyfakename]

Even after watching your helpful video and gathering all the materials, this took me three hours and 20 minutes to fill out, upload, submit, and pay. SMH. There is conflicting/confusing info on the site about what size JPG photo it will a accept, and I guarantee you your PDF is too big. So be ready and be able to reduce it drastically! Also, Fun Fact: the payment site doesn't accept American Express (only Mastercard and Visa), and it won't accept a Virtual Credit card number. The quickest and easiest option is paying by PayPal. Lastly during the "April to June period" a 30 day Visa is only $10. I applied today April 1 for my trip in a couple weeks. But the way they have it worded, I have no idea if that means the $10 fee ends June 1 or June 30.

[@AlwaysonaJourney]

Thanks for sharing this information.

so what is the size of the pdf file please

I totally forgot, please check out in the vdo.

You could try to get the name of a manager from the boat and use that. With a 30 day visa your 30 days starts from the day you arrive in India.

[@martincooper2642]

I meant could I apply for it now, even though I don't travel till april

The earliest you can apply for a 30 days visa is 30 days before you travel. The 1 year visa allows you to apply upto 120 days before you travel but the date starts from the date the visa is issued.

Hello. You are correct. With a 30 day visa the validity starts on the day that you arrive in India. You will have a new passport now so it should be ok to answer with no. I did that.

[@erikag8287]

Hey, thanks for the info! Do I understand correctly that once the visa is granted and issued (roughly 72 hours post-submission) is when the visa time starts? Or does it start at the date that you declare you'll be arriving? Of course it would be ideal if it started at the date you declare you'll be arriving,.. because otherwise I'd want to push the application submission as close to the date of departure as possible (to gain as much time as possible to stay). This would even lead me to be hesitant to book the flight, you know? Who knows, maybe its rejected and you're out of luck with the cost of the flight and also your life plans have to change, etc.

30 days seems like a tight timeframe in the event that something goes wrong, and especially in my case since I'll be traveling to other countries before entering India. Therefore, should I consider applying for the one year visa, solely because of the longer lead time?

@@AlwaysonaJourney ok thanks

[@majoalicando3767]

When should l apply visa before my travel ?

[@AlwaysonaJourney]

You can apply for a 30 day visa, 30 days before you travel.

[@elizbethkieffer6887]

When submitting my application, my computer cliched and did not show me the page that showed my new application ID. I tried to go back through with "continue partially complete application" but it said it was already submitted. I did not get a chance to pay the fee before it glitched. I am unsure of how to get that application ID to make sure the fee is paid.

Hi, I applied visa for my friend. We are travelling to india on February 2024. His evisa got granted and the expiry date is february 9 2024. But we reach india on February 10 2024 in the morning. Is this a problem to the entry? Or we habe to apply again or how do we sort this out? Please let us know your thoughts. Thanks

[@AlwaysonaJourney]

That will definitely be a problem, please apply it again.

[@jerinmphilip3549]

@@AlwaysonaJourney Thanks for the reply. Just one more quick thought. Is it a problem if we apply again soon like within a week let's say

Hello i got India E-visa so i only need the print out E visa paper with my image and Qr code and passport thats enough or is it anything more?

[@AlwaysonaJourney]

Yes, that's right. ;-)

[@daryltooth9635]

If appling for 30 day evisa it appears you can only apply 30 days in advance. It's October 11th and I will not arrive until Jan but thought I would apply now of cause giving my arrival date in Janruary. First page of application asks for arrival date but only five option up until 10th November. I tried to enter manually but not allowed.

[@AlwaysonaJourney]

That's right The site won't allow you to apply until 30 days before your expected date of travel.

Quick question, is that enough for showing to migration? I have also the email in which i am going attend an event, do i have to demostrate it as well?

I only showed a printed version of the visa and that was enough.
