India e-Visa | How To Apply Online🇮🇳

[@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!!!

[@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.

[@AlwaysonaJourney]

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.

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.

If your mum and dad are dead, do you still need to add details? If a woman has changed her name due to marriage do they need to know?

Great video. I am doing this now, but unfortunately, I moved to the second page and realised my date of birth has saved incorrectly ... there seems to be no way to alter this. How can you amend or cancel a form before submission? I have logged back in using the temporary application ID, but no joy. Also, the calendar will not allow me to select a travel date for more than a month in advance?

[@AlwaysonaJourney]

Thanks. Here are teh details for the helpdesk. [phone] [e-mail] If you're applying for a one month visa you can only apply upto 30 days before your expected date of travel. If it's a 1 year visa you can apply upto 120 days in advance.

They have size minimums and maximums listed for the photo and the passport page image. Check those requirements and your file sizes. Try to adjust accordingly. Then, try re-uploading. Also, an image of the passport page must be in PDF format.

There is no need to go through a third party site. You should be going directly to the official India site in this video. Any other site is just some greedy middle man up-charging you for something you can get yourself, directly, for less!
