In the next sections, we'll present solutions on how to overcome these issues or you can apply using our user-friendly website or mobile app.

Technical difficulties and India eVisa website issues

Website crashes or slow-loading pages, particularly during peak application times, are a top problem when applying for an Indian eVisa.

To avoid this issue, make sure you're using a compatible browser such as Google Chrome or Firefox, which are known for their reliability with Indian eVisa applications.

Sometimes, the processing of an Indian eVisa application takes longer than expected. This can happen during busy travel seasons or if there are issues with the system. Knowing the best time to apply is very important:

• For 30-day eVisas, you should apply no earlier than 30 days and no later than four days before your trip.
• For 1-year and 5-year eVisas, applications can be made up to 120 days in advance.

Processing usually takes up to 72 hours, so planning accordingly will ensure you receive your eVisa in time for your travel.

Based on customer feedback, applying during off-peak hours (between 2 AM and 6 AM IST) can significantly reduce the chance of technical issues.

iVisa Pro Tip: Save your application progress every 10 minutes using the "Save and Exit" feature to prevent data loss due to session timeouts.

Trouble with uploading documents for the India eVisa application

When uploading your photograph and documents, such as the passport ID page, you might need to crop the photo to meet the specifications and ensure the document is in the correct format.

The eVisa system typically requires JPG/JPEG/PNG format for photos and PDF for documents. Make sure these are clear, legible, and within the specified file size limits.

Preparing your files before starting the application process can save time and reduce stress.

iVisa Pro Tip: Our review team makes sure there are no missing documents and will check if everything is in the correct size and format.

India eVisa payment processing and verification problems

Payment failures might occur if your card is declined or there are issues with the payment portal. Here's what we recommend:

• Use a card enabled for international transactions.
• Ensure sufficient funds are available.
• Keep your bank informed about the international transaction.

We offer multiple secure payment options for your convenience.
