From October 2025 onwards, all foreign nationals (including Australians) must complete an online e-Arrival card before immigration clearance upon landing in India. This requirement exists in addition to your e-Visa and must be completed prior to arrival.

Authorised Entry Points:

e-Visas are valid only at designated airports and seaports. Land border crossings generally require regular visas.

The only official Indian Government portal for e-Visa applications is indianvisaonline.gov.in. Beware of fraudulent websites and services that mimic official platforms.

Upon arrival, present your e-Visa approval (digital or printed) along with your passport at immigration. Your passport will then be stamped with the entry visa that governs your permitted stay. Avoid overstaying your authorised visa duration; penalties and fines apply for violations.
