Steps to Apply for the e-Tourist Visa from India
This is the process you have to go through in order to apply for online:
1. Enter the Official Website
The first thing to do is enter the official website of the country government to apply for it. Keep in mind that the website is in English, but if you follow our steps, there should be no doubt. You can also always use the translator that the browser offers you for Physical visa or e-visa India. Also you should know what the “differences between a physical visa and e-visa for India” before you go on a trip.
2. Fill in the Form with Personal Data
You will have to click on the “APPLY HERE FOR E-VISA” button, at the bottom right, and you will have to fill in 8 screens with your data:
- Only the sections with an asterisk in red are necessary
3. Pay
When verifying the request you will arrive at the previous one to the payment gateway. In the first place they inform you that the price of this request is $ 25 (US dollars) which is then increased a little by a commission, and on this page they notify you that if there is a problem in the payment, they are not made responsible. Write down the identification number of your application (ID) and hit “PAY NOW”.
Then it will give us 3 options of payment gateways: Sbi e-pay, Paypal and Axis Bank. Disregarding Paypal, you can also chose Axis Bank because apparently it is more likely to work for those of us who apply for it from Europe. Apparently Sbi e-pay is recommended for those who do it from America.
You put the card details and proceed to the payment. If everything goes correctly, you will get a page notifying that the payment has been made correctly and you will be able to download a receipt. You will also receive an e-mail with the confirmation of payment and receipt of the request. From now on, we have to wait a period of 72 hours until they send us the approval.
Important: Updating the payment status in the payment status part of the website may take up to 2 hours. If you have had a problem in the payment and you are not sure if it has been made, it is recommended to wait those 2 hours before paying again.
4. To Keep in Mind
- The fee for paying the electronic visa once the application is submitted is non-refundable, regardless of whether it is approved or not.
- Confirm that the status of the ETA appears as “GRANTED” in the email they send you or in the profile with the status of the request on the website itself.
- It is recommended to carry a copy of the Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) on the trip.
