Do Swedish citizens need a visa for India?
Yes, Swedish citizens do need a visa to travel to India. The Indian government requires all foreign nationals, including Swedish citizens, to obtain an appropriate visa before entering the country.
Whether it's a Tourist eVisa, Business eVisa, Medical eVisa, e-conference visa, or any other type of visa, Swedish citizens are required to apply for and obtain the necessary permit before traveling to India.
What is the India Tourist Visa for Swedish citizens?
The India Tourist Visa for Swedish citizens is a travel document issued by the Indian government that allows Swedish citizens to visit India for tourism and leisure purposes. This visa permits Swedish travelers to explore India's rich cultural heritage, historical sites, and natural wonders and experience its diverse traditions and cuisines.
This visa is issued electronically (e-visa) by the Indian government, meaning the application process can be completed online, offering Swedish travelers convenience and efficiency.
Once approved, the e-visa is electronically linked to the passport, and Swedish travelers are advised to also carry a copy of the e-visa during their trip to India. It's important to note that the e-visa has specific validity and duration of stay limitations, as specified by the Indian government.
How long is the India Tourist Visa valid for Swedish citizens?
The Indian Tourist Visa depends on the type of visa you choose to apply for. We offer:
- Double-entry visa valid for 30 days
- Multiple-entry visa valid for 1 year
- Multiple-entry visa valid for 5 years
The length of stay allowed per visa varies per visa. Check out our blog for comprehensive information on India Tourist e-Visa validity and length of stay.
If you need to stay in India for more than 90 days, you can apply for an extension of your visa while in India. However, the extension is subject to approval by the Indian authorities and must be applied for before your current visa expires. So, plan your trip accordingly and apply for your visa in time to make the most of your visit to India!
