      Indian Immigration Authority modified their e-Tourist Visa policy in September 2019. According to the new policy Indian e-Tourist visas with 5-year or 60 months validity will start from the date of visa issuance. Once you receive the e-visa, you can plan your travel right away. Electronic visas are instant travel permits that can be acquired within a few days and even a few hours before your travel.

      My wife and I have eVisa valid through December 17, 2024. This eVisa is stamped on our US passports by BUREAU OF IMMIGRATION INDIA on January 9, 2020 at the Airport in Mumbai, when we visited India. Since we read that eVisa that were suspended in March 2020 due to raging Covid Pandemic, are lifted for US Citizens on March 16, 2022, we bought tickets to travel to India on January 20, 2023. Can you please confirm that our eVisa's are indeed restored and we can travel without anxiety? Your timely guidance and advice is deeply appreciated. I am grateful to Indian Government for issuing eVisa that are tremendous help to avoid going to Indian Embassy in person, something we did for many years in past. Kudos to Indian Government for being internet savvy and helping travelers. Thank you!

    Are you currently putting through a 5 year visa for USA citizens? Are there changes? What is the cost?
    Reply
    • Indiaevisas 29-04-2022
      For US passport holders, the continuous stay for a 5-year visa must not exceed 180 days. The visa cost depends upon the type of visa required, such as single-entry or multiple-entry, three months, 1-year, 5-year validity, and the processing time. If you want the visa urgently, that is, within 24 hours, you will pay for an urgent visa, which costs higher than standard electronic visas. you can check visa fees details on our India visa fees page.

      Your father’s existing visa is valid and he can travel using the same visa, without needing to reapply for a new visa. The Government of India restored all valid long duration or 10-year and regular paper tourist visas obtained by foreign nationals of all countries. This policy is applicable on visas suspended since March 2020. Fresh paper tourist visas with up to 5-year validity will also be issued to foreigners of eligible countries but with certain restrictions.

      If you are a USA or Japan national, your visa will be honored. The Indian government has restored all currently valid 5-year e-tourist visas issued to nationals of 156 countries and standard paper visas to all foreign travellers. This new policy is applicable to visas suspended since March 2020 due to the coronavirus outbreak. Currently, all valid long duration or 10-year validity regular tourist visas that were suspended in March 2020 have been restored for the nationals of USA and Japan only. And, fresh long duration, 10-year validity tourist visas will be issued to USA and Japan nationals.

    Dear Visa Office, I applied for a new 10 year tourist visa for India back in November 2021, as mine was due to expire. Since then everytime I check online it says the Visa is in progress, but that's nearly 4 months now. Is that likely to change soon? I see on today's BusinessToday.in that new 5 and 10 year visas are being issued again now. So do I need to start a new application process?

      In March 2022 the government of India restored all 5-year validity e-tourist visas for citizens of 156 countries and paper visas to nationals of all countries. However, 10-year validity visas have only been restored for nationals of the USA and Japan. If you do not belong to any of these countries, your e-tourist visa will not be processed.

      I hv an e visa for 5 years expiring in 2024. I am from Malaysia. In 2019 my passport was stamped with the e visa number. At the airport yesterday I was informed I can’t use that visa to enter India. Having paid fir 5 years, I was asked to apply for a paper visa if I want to travel soon or wait for e visa to be restored for Malaysia. That’s going to cost me further.

British nationals can also apply for fresh Indian e-visas to meet family/friends, sightseeing, recreation, or participating in Yoga programs. From September 2019, tourists on British passports also get the right to apply for a long-term, 5-year validity Indian tourist e-visa with multiple entries.

      Please remember that you cannot extend or renew your Indian e-visa. Also, you cannot apply for and used your e-visa from within India. Once the visa is issued, it is not possible to extend its validity and you will have to apply for a new visa with one-year validity.

I have not received the extension yet. How can I find out the latest status of my extension? On the status on E-FFRO website, for last one week it says Application/documents completed, wait for further instructions. However I just saw this news - India Restores Long Term Tourist Visa with Immediate Effect on March 16, 2022. I already have a Tourist visa stamped in my passport valid till 2024, will that allow me to stay in India longer without getting an extension since my old visa is valid now?

      After your e-visa application is processed and verified, the approved visa is sent directly to your email inbox. The visa is usually sent in PDF format. You need to take a print out of the e-visa and also save its digital copy. Carry your passport that you used to apply for the e-visa and the printed copy or scan of the approved visa along when you travel to India. Upon your arrival, you will have to show both travel documents to the immigration officials. The authorities will take your biometric data and the visa sticker will be pasted inside your passport.

    Can a valid USA entry visa (tourism or work) be denied due to a old credit card debit or other credit restrictions that happened in the US? Is there a problem with the USA entry on a B1/B2 5-year visa during the last 6 months? I have read about it here but haven't got the proper answer https://www.tejar.pk/apple/apple-watch

      Credit or debit card debt, whether current or old, does not affect your chances of obtaining an electronic visa. There’s very less chance that your tourist visa application will be rejected because of your credit history as long as you can pay the visa fee, travel expenses, and support your stay in India. If you provide proof of financial stability or someone can sponsor your stay, your visa application will be approved.

      The B-1/B-2 visa is a non-immigration, temporary visa allowing the visa holder to travel to the US for tourism or business purposes. There has been a problem with visa processing lately due to COVID-19 but currently, there is no issue and you can travel to the USA without any hesitation.

There are other types of visas that Pakistani nationals can apply for, including visitor visa for attending arts, sports, or cultural events, conference visa, pilgrim visa, medical and medical attendant visas, transit visa, journalist visa, student visa, assignment visa, official visa, and group tourist visa.

    I had a 5 year visa issued in 2019. It said entry should take place within one year. However, I was unable to visit India during this one year period, which has now expired by two years. I was told I could still use this to enter India, but I am skeptical of this information as the printed form clearly says entry before October 2020. I do not want to risk being turned away by Indian Immigration. So should I apply for a new visa?

    Is the duration for short term e-Tourist Visa still 60days or it has changed? How long does the process take to get e-tourist visa for 60days double entry visa?

      Does double entry mean I can come in twice in my 30 days ie fly into dehli, go to Nepal and fly back into Kolkata ?

    Hi, I am a British Citizen and I have five e-visa which were issued in 2020 and will be expired in 2025. Many people are worried about their long-term e-visa if they have restored it. I have contacted the HIGH COMMISSION OF INDIA, and their reply was, a valid long-term e-visa has been fixed until the expiry date and there is no need to reapply for a new entry visa. This is good news.

    Dear ladies and gentlemen, I have a 5-years-e-visa issued 13. Dec. 2019, expiry date 11. Dec. 2024 (Application Id: I004W2C37A19, Passport Number: X3898514, ETA Number: 902A2AD4J). I have been in India for one month in March 2022. At that time I could not use my 5-year-e-visa, I had to apply for a new one-month-e-visa. Now I like to go to India for three months. I booked a flight for the 5th of January 2023 from Zürich to Delhi and back on the 4th of April 2023. Is my 5-years-e-visa now valid and can I use it for my trip to India? Thank you for your answer. Faithfully yours

    I applied for a 5 year evisa on 11th December. I was expecting to recieve it within 72 hours but 16 days later I still do not have it. Payment was taken when I submitted the application. Is there a problem with the system?

    Hello sir/madam I am a Canadian citizen. I got my 5 years e-visa issued on 18 February 2020 and expired on February 16/2025. I just want to make sure if it's still valid to travel to India in March 2023. When I check e-visa status on the website it says "GRANTED " Please could you tell me if it's good to travel or I have to reapply. Thanks.

    I am from the United States and currently hold a 5 year multiple entry visa. I spent 180 days in India already since getting my visa. I had planned on going to travel elsewhere and come back to India in a few months but have been told that my multiple entry visa is only good for 180 days per year. So is it true that I cannot enter India for 185 days after spending the 180 consecutive days in India? Thank you!
