India has issued a new electronic visa.
The government of India has introduced an E-Visa (electronic visa) for 43 countries. The new online system will allow travelers to apply for a visa from home and receive it within 72 hours. A traveler must apply for this visa at least four days before entering India and will only be eligible for two of these visas within a calendar year.
The E-Visa will be valid for 30 days and the fee is $62. Those traveling for leisure, short duration medical treatment, a casual business visit, or to meet friends and relatives will be eligible to apply. The E-Visa will be made available at nine airports, including Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Kochi, Goa, Hyderabad, Kolkata, and Thiruvanathapuram.
