Easy e-Tourist Visas (eTV) for International travelers
If you are an international traveler looking to visit India for a casual visit, conference, sight-seeing, recreation, and short-term medical treatment or to meet friends or relatives, you can apply for an e-Tourist Visa (eTV) in few simple steps. An eTV will be issued to you via an email after being processed online. When you arrive at an Indian airport, your credentials will be verified and your passport will be stamped with the visa. The eTV can be used for single entry visit with 30 days stay duration. A traveler can only get a maximum of two Indian e-Visas within one year. However, you should consider the traditional visa when you have plans for a longer stay duration and also for the option of multiple entries.
