E-Visa enables visitors to stay longer in India

India’s Ministry of Tourism has announced that foreign tourists visiting India on the e-Tourist Visa (eTV) will now be entitled to stay in the country for up to two months and enjoy double-entry benefits.

Rolled out by the government beginning 1 April 2017, the new e-Visa guidelines will permit a traveller to stay in the country for up to 60 days, with double entry for those holding valid business and tourist e-Visas, and triple entry for those holding medical e-Visas.

The move entitles visitors to explore neighbouring countries before returning to India within a specified time. What’s more, the window for application to the e-Visa scheme has increased from 30 days to 120 days.

 

Indian-Visa

The eTV was introduced in August 2015 and promotional by India Tourism Office London helped to ensure 90,000 e-Tourist Visas were issued within its first year, accounting for nearly a quarter of all e-Visas issued worldwide. More applications for an eTV to India were made by UK citizens than any other nation.

The e-Visa for India has been sub-divided into three categories: e-Tourist Visa, e-Business Visa and e-Medical Visa. On arrival, the visitor must present the authorisation to immigration officials, in order to enter the country.
