India e-Visa makes exploring India easier than ever. Whether you're drawn by the Taj Mahal, a yoga retreat, business opportunities, or medical care, this digital visa simplifies your entry—no embassy visits, no paperwork maze. Here's everything you need to know before you pack your bags.
What is India e-Visa?
The India e-Visa is an official electronic travel authorization issued by the Government of India that allows foreign nationals to enter the country for specific purposes—without the need to visit an embassy. It is a fully digital visa system.
The India Electronic Visa is available to nationals of selected countries, including the United States, whose sole objective of visiting India falls into one of the approved categories:
Tourism (recreation, sightseeing, or visiting family and friends)
Participation in short-term yoga programs
Medical treatment (including traditional Indian systems of medicine)
Business purposes
Attending conferences, workshops, or seminars organized by Indian government entities
Accompanying an e-Medical Visa holder
However, individuals with diplomatic/official passports, UN travel documents, or those of Pakistani origin (including those with parents or grandparents born in Pakistan) are not eligible for an e-Visa. Instead, they must apply through the standard visa process at an Indian mission.
