You are Most Welcome to visit India !!
We are pleased to assist you in obtaining a
Tourist Visa for India !!
There
are 3 ways to get Indian Tourist Visa:
1. You can apply for
Indian Tourist Visa (Traditional Visa) with Indian Embassy/ High Commission in
your Country. It is possible to apply for a Traditional
Indian Tourist Visa up to several months in advance. A Traditional Indian
Tourist Visa allows multiple visits to India and is valid for a stay of up to
90 days in India. Travelers who would like a longer visa validity or multiple
entries or who wish to avoid delays at the airport in India, they should select Tourist Visa and apply for a
Traditional Visa.
2.
You
can apply online through “VFS Global” website:
http://www.vfsglobal.com, which is one of the
least intuitive websites.
3. You can also apply
online for E TOURIST VISA (eTV on ARRIVAL in India) and you will get the
visa on your arrival at airport in India.
The
e-Tourist Visa enables the prospective visitor to apply for an Indian Visa from
his/her home country online without visiting the Indian Mission and also pay
the visa fee online. Once approved, the applicant receives an email authorizing
him/her to travel to India and he/she can travel with a print out of this authorization. On arrival, the visitor has to present the authorization to the
immigration authorities who would then stamp the entry into the country. This
facility is available to Foreigners whose sole objective of visiting India is
recreation, sight-seeing, short duration medical treatment, casual business
visit etc. and not valid for any other purpose/activities. The India online visa application must be submitted no
later than 4 days prior to departure for India and no earlier than 34 days
before the date of arrival in India. The India ETA allows one single entry for
a stay of up to 30 days in India. A maximum of two ETA visas can be issued
within one year. The
facility will encourage people to travel with short-term planning, take via
routes while travelling to other countries and bring family members while on business
visits.
