About visa
The Indian Tourist e-Visa allows citizens of Georgia to visit India for the purposes of tourism, recreation, sightseeing, visiting friends and relatives, short-term medical treatment or occasional business visit. It is a convenient electronic visa that is issued completely online, significantly simplifying the application process compared to traditional embassy visas.
This visa category is intended for those whose main purpose is to explore India's cultural heritage, natural beauty and diverse landscapes. It allows you to stay in India for up to 90 days per visit, although the total validity of the visa can be 1 year or 5 years, with multiple entries. It is important to note that the Indian Tourist e-Visa does not allow you to work, study long-term or engage in missionary work in India. If your purpose is to conduct business , study or attend a conference , you should choose the appropriate e-Visa category.
The process of obtaining an Indian tourist e-Visa is much simpler than that of many other countries. Unlike visas to Canada or Japan , for example, the Indian e-Visa does not require an in-person interview at the embassy, making the application process faster and less stressful. It is more similar to the e-visas of Australia or Singapore , where the entire process is done online.
The validity of a visa starts from the date of issue, not from the date of entry into India. For example, a 1-year e-Visa entitles you to travel to India for 1 year from the date of issue, for a maximum of 90 days per visit. For a 5-year e-Visa, the same 90-day limit applies per visit. It is important that your passport is valid for at least 6 months from the date of entry into India and has at least two blank pages.
To avoid rejection of your application, it is essential to submit all required documents accurately and completely. Common reasons for rejection include incorrectly uploaded photographs and passport scans, insufficient funds, errors in the application, or violation of previous visa conditions. GetVisa offers full support in preparing your Indian visa application to minimize the risk of rejection and ensure a smooth journey.
