The changes mainly affect business travellers and long-term tourists, particularly those applying for one-year e-Business Visas and five-year e-Tourist Visas.<\/p>\n<p>This update comes at an interesting moment. Just weeks earlier, India extended the entry window for the 30-day e-Tourist Visa, giving travellers more flexibility to plan their trips. While that move signaled a friendlier approach to tourism, the revised fee structure tells a more nuanced story.<\/p>\n<p>Below is a clear breakdown of what has changed, what has not, and how this may

latest e-Visa update reflects a dual approach. On one hand, the country is actively encouraging short-term tourism by easing entry rules. On the other, it is increasing visa fees for longer stays and professional travel, especially for applicants from certain countries.<\/p>\n<p>The revised fees apply quietly, without a broad public announcement, making it especially important for travellers to check current costs before submitting an application.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"One-Year_e-Business_Visa_Fees_Increased\"><\/span>One-Year e-Business Visa Fees Increased<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The most noticeable change is the sharp increase in the <strong>one-year e-Business Visa<\/strong> fee.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Previous standard fee:<\/strong> US$80<\/li>\n<li><strong>New standard fee:<\/strong> US$120<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For many nationalities, the cost is even higher due to India\u2019s country-specific pricing model, which is largely based on reciprocity agreements.
