A longer validity is for future visits, not continuous residence. Count all your tourist stays toward the calendar year limit. Check the dates and conditions on your granted visa before each trip.
Start by considering the 30 day option. A longer validity may be unnecessary if you have no plans to return and your itinerary fits the permitted stay.
More than one trip this year
Consider the 1 year option if you expect to return within the year. Its validity starts at approval, so account for time between approval and your first trip.
Visits over several years
Consider the 5 year option if visiting India is a regular part of your plans. Compare the higher upfront price with how often you realistically expect to travel.

Review restrictions involving nationality, origin, and professional background.
Confirm that your planned activities fit the tourist category.
Traveling for business, treatment, or another purpose? Choose the appropriate category before applying. A longer Tourist eVisa does not authorize additional types of activity. Explore India visa categories.

Selected e-Arrival Card assistance with your India eVisa? You will not need to complete a second form. We use the information from your visa application, plan the filing around your scheduled arrival in India, and submit it when the filing window opens.
No. Visa validity and permitted stay are different. The longer validity covers future visits, while stay conditions continue to apply. Use the comparison above and check the conditions on your granted visa.
Is the 5 year option always better value?
No. It depends on how often you expect to return and the services you select. For one short trip, a lower upfront cost may make more sense. Consider likely travel rather than choosing the longest validity by default.
Do the three options require different core documents?
The core passport and photo requirements are shared. Your activities and circumstances may require additional documents. Review the checklist before starting.
What does Express Service change?
It prioritizes our review and preparation. We submit as soon as the required information and documents are complete. It does not change government processing times or guarantee an earlier decision.
What happens if my documents need correction?
Our team will explain the changes or additional files needed before submission. Providing complete information and clear files helps us prepare your application.
Do I have to use My E Visa?
No. You can apply directly through the Indian government website. Our paid service is for travelers who want help understanding requirements, preparing files, and reviewing an application.
Where can I check the final cost?
Review the selected visa and service options in the online application before payment. Check the total and included charges, including any optional additions you select.
