Validity depends on your visa type

The Tourist eVisa is valid for 90 days per visit (up to 180 days for US, UK, Canada, Japan nationals) with an overall validity of 1 or 5 years. The Business eVisa is valid for up to 180 days per visit within a 1-year period. Medical and Medical Attendant visas are valid for 60 days from the date of first entry.

Authorised entry points only

All eVisa holders must enter India through one of the 29 designated airports or 5 authorised seaports. Entry through land borders is not permitted with an eVisa.

Restricted areas are off-limits

The India eVisa cannot be used to access Protected Areas, Restricted Areas, or Cantonment Areas. A separate permit is required for such regions.

Non-extendable and non-transferable

The eVisa validity cannot be extended beyond its original duration. If you wish to stay longer, you must exit India and apply for a new eVisa (subject to the three-times-per-year limit).

Minimum passport validity required

Your passport must remain valid for at least 6 months from the date of your planned arrival. Immigration officers will also stamp your passport, so at least 2 blank pages are required.
