Which citizens can enter India visa-free?
All foreign nationals require a visa to enter India. However, overseas citizens of India (OCI) cardholders do not require a visa to enter India.
Indian visas are required for foreign nationals who wish to enter India for various purposes such as tourism, business, employment, study, medical treatment, and more.
Foreign nationals can apply for various visas online, eliminating the need to send a printed copy of the form and other documentation to a BLS center. Such visas are given and confirmed electronically, and applicants can fly to India using the visa grant confirmation they got.
Indian E-visas are currently offered in the following categories:
- e-Tourist Visa
- e-Business Visa
- e-Conference Visa
- e-Medical Visa
- e-Medical Attendant Visa
- e-Ayush Visa
- e-Ayush Attendant Visa
To prevent issues with authorities, visitors who have filed for the Indian eVisa are required to carry a copy of their approved electronic Indian visa at all times while in India
