Frequently asked questions about India e-business visa

Can I use a tourist visa instead of an e-business visa? No, conducting business activities on a tourist visa is not permitted and could result in serious consequences. We recommend always applying for the appropriate visa type.

What happens if my invitation letter is rejected? We provide immediate notification if there are issues with your invitation letter and guide you through the correction process to ensure quick resubmission.

How long does the invitation letter verification take? Typically, verification takes 2-3 business days. We recommend our Rush or Super Rush processing options if you're short on time.

Is a business card acceptable instead of an invitation letter? While business cards are required, they cannot replace the formal invitation letter. Both documents must be submitted for a complete application.
