Many US citizens are interested in travelling all over the world and find India the most attractive place. But to enter India they have to attain a visa which is a long and tiring bureaucratic work that also includes the risk of getting their visas denied due to the interview process. But now they can get an Indian visa easily and quickly by applying for an E-visa through the official Indian government visa handling website.
Time allowed to stay in India depending on your E-visa type
Currently, India has three types of E-visas,
- Tourist E-visa: 90 days
- Business E-visa: 180 days
- Medical E-visa: 60 days
Cost of an Indian E-visa
The cost of an Indian E-visa widely depends on the type of E-visa you are applying for and the duration of your stay in India. Both of these factors decide the visa fees of a US citizen. This fee generally lies anywhere between $69 to $141. This visa is non-extensible, cancellable, transferable, or amendable. However, if you want you can reapply for it.
E-Tourist visa: An Indian E-Tourist visa is generally for travelling and leisure which allows its holder to stay in India for 90 days and costs $80.
E-Business visa: An Indian E-Business visa allows its holder to perform legal transactions, attend business meetings, hire staff, etc without any issues. It allows its holder to stay in India for 180 days and costs around $100.
E-Medical visa: An Indian E-Medical visa allows its holder to visit India for any medical reason and bring a maximum of two attendants with them. This E-visa allows its holder to stay in India for 60 days and costs around $100.
US citizens must note that India has issued only these three types of E-visas and the above-mentioned prices are just the fees of the government. If you seek our assistance or any E-visa service facility provider, you may have to pay the service fees.
After the application is confirmed these E-visas will be delivered to you in your registered Email itself after 4-5 working days.
