About the e-Arrival Card to India
The e-Arrival Card is a digital arrival card used by Indian immigration authorities to collect information about foreign travellers arriving in India.
The e-Arrival Card is not a visa, a visa, or a residence permit. It is a separate registration that must be done even if you already have a valid Indian visa, eVisa, or OCI card.
You can apply via All Visas at any time before your trip. We handle the registration at the right time and make sure you receive your e-Arrival Card within 72 hours before your arrival in India.
The e-Arrival Card does not affect how long you can stay in India. Instead, the length of time you can stay in the country and what you can do during your stay depends on your visa, eVisa, OCI status, or other applicable entry rules.
To apply, you will need the following:
- Copy of passport information page
India can change entry rules and document requirements at short notice. It is therefore important to check current regulations before submitting the registration.
