Getting a India Visa for Italian citizens: Complete guide

Are you an Italian citizen planning a trip to India? To make your adventure a reality, you’ll need an India Tourist eVisa.

Here’s what you need to know about applying for an India Tourist eVisa from Italy.

Do Italian citizens need a visa to enter India?

Yes, Italian citizens are required to have a visa to enter India. Fortunately, India offers several eVisa types to meet different travel needs:

• Tourist eVisa: Ideal for sightseeing, leisure, or visiting friends and family.

• Business eVisa For business meetings, conferences, or exploring business opportunities.

• Medical eVisa For those seeking medical treatment in India.

India Tourist eVisa difficulty rating: Moderately easy

The India Tourist eVisa for Italian citizens has a difficulty rating of 21/100, making it a relatively easy visa to apply for.

The process includes 24 questions and requires just 2 documents - a passport and a passport photo.

Our team is here to ensure you avoid the small mistakes that lead to delays, which is why we’re trusted by thousands of travelers every year.

iVisa pro tip: "For the 'marital status' section of the application, use the exact wording shown in your official documents. Matching this detail precisely can help avoid any processing delays and keep your application on track."

How long is the India Tourist eVisa valid for Italians?

For Italian citizens, the India Tourist eVisa offers three validity options, depending on the duration of the visit:

30-day eVisa:

• Valid for 30 days from the date of issue.
• Double entry permitted.
• Non-extendable and non-convertible.

Important: You cannot stay 30 days for each entry with the 30-day India Tourist eVisa. The 30-day validity period begins on the date of your first entry into India, and you can re-enter within this timeframe.

However, your total stay (including both entries) must be within the 30-day window.

For example:

If you enter India on March 1, your eVisa will be valid until March 30. You could leave and re-enter once, but you must depart by March 30, regardless of when you re-enter.

1-year eVisa:

• Valid for 1 year from the date of issue.
• Allows multiple entries within the validity period.
• Each stay cannot exceed 90 days.

5-year eVisa:

• Valid for 5 years from the date of issue.
• Allows multiple entries.
• Each stay cannot exceed 90 days per visit.

To apply for the India Tourist eVisa, Italian citizens need to submit the following documents:
