What India requires

One document, and it applies to every foreign national: whatever your passport, however you arrive.

  • India eArrival

    eArrival

    The India eArrival Card is India's official digital arrival form, a mandatory online entry requirement for all international travelers arriving in the country. Complete your India eArrival application online before departure and receive electronic confirmation linked to your passport, ready for immigration at Indian airports.

    What you'll need

    Valid passport with at least 6 months validity from arrival date, flight information (flight number), purpose of travel, accommodation address in India (state and district), personal and contact information, and valid email address to receive your confirmation.

    $99.99 per traveler

    No India government fee. Service fee only.

Four steps, and you know all four

Most services show you three. The fourth one is real, so here it is.

  1. 01

    Your trip

    When you arrive and leave, and where to email the document.

  2. 02

    Your travelers

    Passport details for everyone traveling. Photograph the passport page and we fill it in for you.

  3. 03

    Review and pay

    Choose your review speed. Every line itemized before you pay a cent.

  4. 04

    After payment

    Arrival details

    After payment

    Airline, flight number and your address in India. About 2 minutes, once your payment clears.

What it costs

$99.99 per traveler for the eArrival, charged for at most 2 travelers. India charges no government fee, so that is the whole bill.

What $99.99 adds

Someone else carries it

  • An AI checks every answer against India's rules, then a person reviews it before it goes in.
  • Apply today, whenever your trip is. We submit on the day the window opens.
  • If India's portal is down or rejects the submission, we keep trying until it goes through.
  • Passport scanning, real-time validation, and a human on chat if it snags.
  • A family of four is one form and one review, not four attempts.

Doing it yourself

indianvisaonline.gov.in/earrival (free)

  • The official portal, in your own time. It works.
  • The portal goes down for maintenance and times your session out. Every retry is yours to make.
  • You have to remember the day the window opens, and count back from your arrival yourself.
  • A typo in a passport number is yours to catch, and to fix at the airport.
  • Every traveler entered separately, from scratch, with nobody to ask when a field is unclear.

Review and submission speed

Every application is checked by a person before it is submitted. Standard is included in the price above. Two faster options are available at checkout, and neither is pre-selected.

  • Standard

    2 hours

    Included in the price above

  • Fast

    1 hour

    +$10.00 per application

  • Ultra Fast

    15 minutes

    +$20.00 per application

Times are counted from the moment we can submit, not from payment. If India is not accepting your document for your dates yet, we hold the application and start the clock when its window opens; checkout shows you that date before you pay. Speeds move your application up our review queue; they do not change how fast the government processes it once submitted, and they are not a guarantee of approval.

A travel eSIM is the only other optional extra at checkout. Every line is itemized before you pay.

Who needs one

Every foreign national entering India, whatever your passport. Find yours below.

The questions people actually ask

One: the eArrival. It applies to every foreign national arriving in India, by air, land or sea. If your nationality also needs a visa, that is a separate application. The eArrival does not replace it.

All we need is the day you land.
