Need an Indian visa urgently? With iVisa, you can apply online in minutes and avoid common pitfalls that slow down applications through the official portal.

Our platform helps travelers apply online in just a few minutes. With expert support, real-time tracking, and built-in error checking, iVisa is the top choice for travelers who want to avoid delays and travel with peace of mind.

What is the India eVisa, and who can apply?

The India eVisa is an official electronic visa issued by the Government of India. It allows US citizens to enter India for tourism, business, or medical reasons without visiting an embassy. You can even use the iVisa mobile app to apply on the go.

As a US citizen, you're eligible for:

  • Tourist eVisa (30-day, 1-year, or 5-year validity)
  • Business eVisa
  • Medical eVisa

Once approved, we email your visa to you. There is no need for in-person appointments or physical visa stamps.

Which services offer fast and secure India eVisa applications?

iVisa is the quickest and safest choice for most applicants. On paper, the government site should be the quickest. But in reality? Not always.

The official portal does not offer application support, error checking, or real-time updates. This means even small mistakes can lead to delays or rejection.

Unlike the government site, which is known for browser compatibility issues and frequent timeouts, iVisa is fully mobile-optimized and accessible on any device, anytime.

And since we check your application before submitting it to the Indian government, your chances of approval are higher.

So while both options reach the same destination, iVisa gets you there faster and with less stress.

Why iVisa is the fastest and easiest service for your India eVisa

iVisa simplifies the entire eVisa application process. Instead of navigating complex government forms alone, you can complete our smart online form in minutes.

Here’s how we help you get approved faster:

  • A smart, step-by-step application that takes just a few minutes to fill out
  • Expert human review to catch mistakes before submission
  • Multiple processing speeds: 2, 3, or 5 business days
  • Live tracking and proactive updates, so you’re never left wondering
  • 24/7 live chat and WhatsApp support
  • Trusted by over 1 million travelers
  • Not listed on any government scam advisories

“I made a small mistake on my birth date, and iVisa flagged it before submission. Without their help, I would have been denied. Great service!” – Aisha R., South Africa.

Side-by-side comparison of applying for an India eVisa via the government portal vs. iVisa. The left side highlights cons of the government process: confusing forms, limited support, restricted hours, and risk of rejection due to errors. The right side lists iVisa’s pros: intuitive application, 24/7 support via chat and WhatsApp, document review, save progress feature, and multiple payment methods. This infographic summarizes the key pros and cons of each option for US travelers.

Thousands of travelers choose iVisa daily because we are quick and support you every step of the way, unlike the official site, where a single mistake can lead to rejection. The difference is peace of mind.

How quickly can iVisa deliver your India eVisa?

iVisa offers flexible processing speeds to match your travel plans. If you're in a hurry, choose Super Rush and get your approved eVisa in as little as two business days.

FAQs about applying for the India eVisa

1. How much does the India eVisa cost?

With iVisa, your total cost depends on the processing time you choose. All options include professional review, support, and tracking.

You’ll see the total price before you pay, no hidden fees.

2. Can I get scammed applying for an India eVisa?

Yes. The Government of India has issued official warnings about fraudulent eVisa sites. These websites may look official, but are not authorized to issue visas. To stay safe:

  • Only apply through trusted platforms like iVisa or the official government portal
  • Do not click on ads or third-party links offering “instant approval” or unusually low fees

You can read the full advisory from the Consulate General of India in San Francisco for more details.

3. What types of India eVisas can I apply for?

iVisa helps you apply for all eligible India eVisas:

  • Tourist eVisa – For holidays, sightseeing, and visiting family
  • Business eVisa – For meetings, trade events, and conferences
  • Medical eVisa – For receiving treatment in India
  • Medical Attendant eVisa – For accompanying a medical patient

We’ll guide you through each step and let you know what documents you must upload.

4. Which eVisa platform is the easiest to use?

When speed and ease of use matter most, iVisa is the top choice for travelers applying for an India eVisa. Offering multiple processing speeds, we let you choose the timeline that fits your travel plans. While the official Government of India eVisa portal is free, it does not offer expedited options or live help, which can slow down your application and leave you without support.

5. Is it cheaper to apply through the government site?

Yes, the official portal has no third-party service fees. But it's more complex and offers no support. With iVisa, you pay a small fee for premium service and 24/7 support.

Need help?

Our iVisa support team is available 24/7 via live chat and WhatsApp to guide you through the process. Contact us at any time via WhatsApp or iVisa chat. Don’t wait until the last minute, apply now for your India eVisa and travel stress-free.
