India e Visa 2026: Types, Fees and Who Cannot Use It

The longest single stay can differ by passport; for many nationalities it is 90 days in a row on the 1 and 5 year e Tourist visas. Check the limit for your passport on the portal before you pay.

India publishes its fees in USD in two fee sheets on the official portal: the e Tourist sheet dated 8 September 2026 and the e Business, e Medical and e Conference sheet dated 15 April 2026. A bank charge of about 3 percent is added at payment. The fee is not refunded if the visa is refused.

These are only examples. Many African and Pacific countries pay nothing for some types. Always read the row for your passport in the official fee sheet before you pay.

If you are not eligible, apply for a regular visa through the Indian mission where you live. In Azerbaijan, the Embassy of India in Baku takes regular visa applications: you fill in the form online at indianvisaonline.gov.in, then bring the printout, photos and fee to an interview at the embassy. The embassy serves Azerbaijani and Georgian citizens and foreigners who live in Azerbaijan.

1. 1

   Open the official portal

   Go to indianvisaonline.gov.in and choose e Visa. Sites with other addresses are not the government.

2. 2

   Fill in the form

   Enter your passport data, your parents' details, your address, your past travel and the airport or seaport where you will land. The form is long; answer every question the same way as your passport.

3. 3

   Upload a photo and passport page

   A square face photo on a white background and the passport bio page. Some types need more, such as a business card or a hospital letter.

4. 4

   Pay the fee

   Pay online by card. Keep the application ID.

5. 5

   Get the ETA by email

   The approval, called the Electronic Travel Authorisation, comes by email. Print it and carry it with your passport.

   Land at a designated port

   Enter through one of the airports or seaports on the portal's list. Immigration in India can take your fingerprints and photo on arrival.

Sroky is a private company, not the Indian government. The India e visa is coming soon in the Sroky app: we check that your passport and origin are eligible, fill in the long form on indianvisaonline.gov.in with your answers, and send you the ETA.

Sroky's fee is USD 39 for a standard application. The official Indian fee is a separate line at cost. You can always apply yourself on indianvisaonline.gov.in for the official fee only. We cannot help anyone who is not eligible, such as Pakistani passport holders, and Sroky's paid services are not available to residents of Iran, Cuba, North Korea, Syria or Russia.
