Requirements for the Indian eVisa for Israeli citizens 📝

Here’s what you’ll need to apply:

Valid Israeli passport: At least 6 months beyond your arrival date with 2 blank pages
Digital photo: White background, JPEG format (10KB–1MB)
Passport scan: Color scan of the bio page in PDF format (max 300KB)
Email address: For receiving your eVisa

Note: The government is very strict on passport photo sizes and scans. It must be:

These strict requirements are a common reason for denials. Skip the hassle and apply with us. Our experts carefully review applications before submitting them to the government, ensuring you meet all the requirements. As Andrea M., Stockholm said:

"The best way to avoid all that hassle is to use one of the third-party websites like iVisa. It costs about $60, but mine got approved in 3 days, and the website was a lot easier to use and fill out."
