Tourist Visa (Individual)

The e-Tourist Visa (T-1) is a convenient electronic travel authorization designed for foreign nationals visiting India primarily for recreation, sightseeing, or casual visits to meet friends and relatives. This visa category also covers short-term yoga programs. It is an ideal option for travelers seeking a streamlined, paperless application process that can be completed entirely online. By eliminating the need to visit an embassy or consulate, the e-Tourist Visa facilitates easier access for tourists to explore India's diverse cultural and historical landmarks.

The visa fee is seasonally adjusted, typically costing USD 25 during the peak months of July through March, while a reduced rate of USD 10 is applicable from April to June. To be qualifying, applicants must hold a passport valid for at least six months beyond their intended date of arrival and possess at least two blank pages for immigration stamping. Furthermore, travelers must provide proof of a confirmed return or onward flight ticket. Applications should be submitted at least four days before the intended date of arrival, with a maximum window of 120 days in advance.
