Apply for a visa for India online now

If you are planning a trip to India, you need to apply for a visa before entering. Depending on the purpose of your visit, different visa categories are available: tourist, business, medical, student and work visas. German citizens can apply for an electronic visa (e-Visa) or obtain a standard paper visa through a consulate.

For citizens of most European countries, an e-Visa is available and can be applied for online. It is suitable for short-term travellers and comes in several types:

• Tourist e-Visa - allows you to stay in India for up to 30 or 90 days, depending on the option.
• Business e-Visa - designed for short-term business trips, meetings and negotiations.
• Medical e-Visa - issued to patients travelling to Indian hospitals for medical treatment.

The e-Visa can be issued at least 4 days prior to entry and its validity starts from the moment of arrival in the country.

For longer journeys (study, work, long-term medical treatment), a visa must be obtained from an Indian consulate. This process requires submitting documents in person or through a visa centre.

There are two types of visas for entry into India – regular visa and e-visa. For regular visas, you need to submit your documents to the Indian Embassy or Consulate in your country. Both visas are valid for tourists, business travelers and medical patients.

The government of India has recently launched a new electronic visa program (e-Visa) that is available for citizens of 170 countries worldwide. The e-Visa entry process is extremely simple – you just need to fill out an application form online at book-your-visa.de and upload the required documents. After a successful application, the visa will be sent to you by email.

However, a regular visa is still the best option if you want to travel to India to stay for more than 90 days or if you are in India on business. The entry procedure for a regular visa is more complex and time-consuming, however.

The visa fee for India can vary depending on the type of visa, length of stay and nationality. However, there is a general fee that applies to most types of Indian visa.

Foreigners arriving in India on long-term visas (more than 180 days) - student, medical, research, work, missionary or project visas - are required to register with FRRO/FRO (Foreigners Registration Office) within 14 days of arrival.

Business visa holders must register if their total stay in India exceeds 180 days in a calendar year unless they leave the country within 14 days of arrival.

All other foreigners, including long-term visa holders, are exempt from registration if their stay does not exceed 180 days. If their stay is longer, registration is mandatory. Children under 12 years of age are exempt from registration.
