The application asks for details matching a traveler's passport exactly no shortcuts, since mismatched information is a common reason for rejection.

Once the form is done, the Indian eVisa works online by following in 3 easy steps, moving next into payment. Government and service fees get settled through credit card, debit card, or PayPal, followed by a confirmation email.

Step three: wait for delivery.
Normal service brings the approved eVisa within three to six business days; urgent requests cut that down to one to three days. Checking the spam folder helps, since notifications occasionally land there instead of the main inbox.

Before departure, applicants print both the approval letter and the eVisa itself. Two blank passport pages are needed for the stamping that happens on arrival at Indian immigration.
