India's entry rules

There's one e-Arrival Card every visitor to India needs, no matter which passport you hold or however you arrive.

India e-Arrival Card

e-Arrival Card

The India e-Arrival Card is the official digital arrival form for the country, required from every foreign national no matter which passport you carry or however you arrive. File it online ahead of your flight, get confirmation back at once, and land already holding the exact paperwork officers ask for at the border.

What you'll need

a valid passport, your exact arrival date, the state and address where you'll be staying in India, a way for us to reach you directly, and an email address so we can send over your confirmation.

Four steps, no surprises along the way

Most services stop counting at three. We spell out the honest fourth part too.

  1. 01

    Your travelers

    Passport details for everyone on the trip. Photograph the passport data page and we handle the typing.

  2. 02

    Your trip

    When you arrive and depart, and the inbox that should receive your finished e-Arrival Card.

  3. 03

    Review and pay

    Pick your review speed, see every charge listed, and pay once you agree with the total.

  4. 04After payment

    Specialist review & delivery

    A specialist reviews every field, we file it inside your window, and confirmation lands in your inbox.

What it costs

$59.99 per traveler, whatever the destination or e-arrival card. A specialist reviews it and we submit within about a business day, with two quicker tiers waiting at checkout.

What $59.99 adds

A specialist carries the load

  • Automated checks flag anything that doesn't match India's current requirements, and a human signs off before it's sent.
  • Start whenever you like — we hold your form and file it the moment the submission window opens.
  • When the official portal glitches or bounces a submission, we keep retrying until it goes through.
  • We scan your passport, validate the details instantly, and put a real person on chat if anything stalls.
  • A single review covers your whole travel party at once, instead of a separate attempt per traveler.

Going it alone

indianvisaonline.gov.in (free)

  • Free and open any time, and we link to it from every destination page.
  • Expect maintenance windows and timeouts; if it drops your session, the retry is on you.
  • Tracking when your own submission window opens is on you, and it is never the same twice.
  • Mistype a passport number and it is yours to notice, often only at the airport counter.
  • Every traveler needs a brand-new form, and there's no one to call if a box confuses you.

How fast we review and submit

A person checks every application before it goes out. Standard is already part of your price, and two quicker tiers wait at checkout with nothing pre-selected.

Our clock starts once we're able to submit, not at checkout. If India only opens its window closer to travel, we queue the application and start timing the moment it opens — you'll see that date before paying. A faster tier moves you up our own internal queue; it won't make the authorities work through your file any quicker once it's lodged, and it's never a promise of entry.

India charges no separate government fee for the e-Arrival Card, so our price is the whole bill. The only optional add-on at checkout is a travel eSIM, and each line appears on your receipt before checkout.

Real questions India travelers ask us

Just one: the e-Arrival Card. Every foreign national needs it, whatever passport you hold and however you arrive. A visa, where your nationality needs one, stays a separate step the card doesn't replace.
