ALL ABOUT INDIAN TOURIST VISA

You can either apply for Indian Tourist Visa or Indian E-Visa. PLEASE NOTE THAT IF YOUR VISIT TO INDIA IS FOR LESS THAN 60 DAYS - YOU SHOULD APPLY FOR INDIAN E-VISA and not Indian Tourist Visa.

If you are a person of Indian origin holding foreign passport, or are spouse or child/grandchild of an Indian national/person of Indian origin then you are all eligible for ENTRY VISA. You should not apply for Tourist Visa. Visa Factory's experienced visa consultants can help you in applying for Indian Tourist Visa or Indian Entry Visa with High Commission of India. If your application is professionally prepared you have better chances of getting your application processed quickly and with positive outcome.

TOURIST VISA ALLOWS ONLY 90 DAYS CONTINUOUS STAY

Tourist visa may be granted for a validity of up to 5 years but the maximum continuous stay permissible on TOURIST visa is ONLY 90 days during each visit. Tourist visas are non-extendable and non-convertible except in limited circumstances. Check if you are entitled for Entry Visa from Visa Factory, as Entry Visa has fewer restrictions and you can stay in India for full length of your visa without any limitation of 90 days.
