Overview
India Business eVisa — When You Need It
The India Business eVisa is intended for travellers visiting India for professional or commercial purposes. This includes attending business meetings and conferences, participating in trade fairs and exhibitions, conducting negotiations, recruiting staff and carrying out technical work, such as installation, commissioning or maintenance, related to equipment supplied to an Indian company. If your trip is for business rather than tourism or employment purposes, this is the correct visa type. If you are seeking paid employment in India, a different visa category applies — contact us if you are unsure which one fits your situation.
Convenient Application — Your Passport Stays With You
Unlike a regular visa, the eVisa is issued entirely electronically. You do not need to hand in your physical passport and there is no need to visit an embassy or visa centre in person. Simply send us your documents by email. We will handle the application on your behalf and you will receive your approved eVisa by email — ready to print and carry with you. This is ideal if you travel frequently or need your passport for other trips in the meantime, as your passport stays in your hands throughout the entire process.
E-Arrival Card — Mandatory for Every Traveller
Since 1 April 2026, all foreign travellers must complete India’s digital e-Arrival Card before entering the country. It replaces the old paper disembarkation form and must be filled in at least 72 hours before arrival. As part of our service, we will submit your e-Arrival Card correctly and on time, meaning all you will need to do is present the QR code to immigration officials upon arrival.

Eligable Countries to apply for an eVisa
Please note: If travelers or their spouses, parents, or grandparents were born in Pakistan or ever held Pakistani nationality, they are not eligible for an Indian e-Visa. They must apply for a regular visa
With an approved electronic visa in hand, travelers can enter India via the following checkpoints:
All visitors to India must legally possess a valid visa.
A regular visa is acquired through an application process, requiring travelers to submit their original passport along with necessary documents for approval at the Indian Embassy or Consulate. This visa is stamped in the passport. The process is more time-consuming and involves more paperwork.
Eligible travelers visiting for leisure, business, or medical reasons can apply for an Indian visa online (eVisa), receiving their visa electronically. Upon arrival in India, the visa will be stamped in their passport, and biometrics (fingerprints) will also be collected at that time.
Upon approval of your visa application, the confirmation will be sent to you via email. It is essential to print a copy to accompany your passport when traveling to India. We recommend printing two copies, retaining one for your records. Upon arrival in India, you must present your e-Visa along with your passport. At the airport, your biometric information, including scanned fingerprints, will be collected, and a visa stamp will be placed inside your passport.
You may still be allowed entry into India with your new passport, even if the eVisa was issued on your old one. However, it is essential that you carry both,
your new passport and the old passport containing the valid eVisa when you travel.

The design and format remain consistent for all issued eVisas.
