India\u2019s e-Visa program is one of the most convenient ways for foreign travellers to enter the country. Instead of visiting an embassy or consulate, eligible visitors can apply online, receive an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA)<\/strong>, and complete biometric verification upon arrival. Once the verification is done, immigration stamps the actual visa into the passport.<\/p>\n

The system has grown rapidly since its launch and now includes nine major e-Visa categories<\/strong>, covering tourists, business travellers, patients, filmmakers, transit passengers, and even mountaineers. In 2025, India expanded the platform again by adding four new categories: e-Transit, e-Mountaineering, e-Film, and e-Entry Visa<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This guide breaks down every e-Visa category<\/strong>, explains who should apply for which type, and provides step-by-step instructions, documents required, fees, validity rules, biometric details, common errors, and troubleshooting tips.<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re planning a multi-city holiday, a yoga retreat, a business meeting, film production, mountain expedition, or simply visiting family, this guide gives you everything you need to navigate India\u2019s e-Visa system with confidence.<\/p>\n
