FAQs about the India Tourist eVisa

Can I extend my India Tourist eVisa after arrival?

No, Indian visas cannot be extended. If you wish to stay longer in India, you must exit the country and apply for a new visa.

How far in advance should I apply for my India Tourist eVisa?

We recommend applying at least 4–5 days before your intended travel date for the India Tourist eVisa. However, for peace of mind, applying 2–3 weeks in advance is ideal.

For business or medical visas, we recommend applying at least 2 months in advance.

Can I use my India Tourist eVisa to work or study in India?

No, the Tourist eVisa is strictly for tourism purposes. For work or study, you need to apply for the appropriate visa type via the Indian embassy.

What should I do if my eVisa application is rejected?

While our high approval rate minimizes rejections, if it occurs, contact our customer support team immediately. We'll review your case and guide you on the best course of action, which may include reapplying with additional documentation.

Our expert review process catches most errors before submission. However, if you notice a mistake after submission, contact us immediately. We'll guide you on the correction process, which may involve canceling the current application and submitting a new one.

What is the difference between the validity and “Date of Expiry” on my visa confirmation?

No, you do not need to leave India by the “Date of Expiry” shown on your eVisa. The expiry date refers to the last day you are allowed to enter India, not the day you must leave.

Your actual stay is valid for 30 days from your first entry into India. For example, if your eVisa was issued on October 17 and expires on November 15, and you enter India on November 9, you can legally stay until December 9.

So as long as you arrive before the expiry date, your full 30-day stay is allowed, even if your departure date is after the expiry date on the visa.
