I have a multiple entry visa issued in 2019 that expires in 2029. This is my 4th,but I believe it was stopped due to COVID. I have gone to India for the past 30 years, staying 2-3 months on my yearly visit. The E visa is only good for 30 days? What do I do to stay for 57days starting in Jan.2022? No one responds to emails, or phone calls at the Embassy. Is there a chance they might reinstate the multiple entry 10 year tourist visas that are valid?

When is the e-Visa opening for tourists from the USA?

Due to travel December 24th to Goa. There are no appointments available for Visas at the embassy! Please can India reinstate the Evisa system for U.K. ASAP!

I already have 10 years visa, is it still suspended?, or do I need to renew it. Because I am planning to go to India in the month of Jan/2022.

29-05-2021 to 18-11-2021 - No response by any Indian Foreign Services officer from 161 countries (including India) ! What a shame and failure ! If you have OCI Card - stop wasting your time,here. You can go to India anytime.It does not give you voting rights as misleading name suggest "Overseas Citizen of India" - No you are not citizen of India and can not vote. Kulvinder Gill & others - You read https://www.evisasindia.org/travel-restrictions/ Unlike other countries - we made life difficult by offering tons of "visa-type" w/o providing clarity to world even on policy so agents and airlines makes tons of money and people like us loose money despite taking off at job and buying expensive airfare. So open your Foreign Passport - go to Visa stamp - locate "Type of Visa" and " No of Entries". Most common type - Type of Visa "T" indicates you have Tourist Visa but "No of Entries" field can be Single/Double or Multiple. You all T Visa guys are screwed until Jan-2022. Game over. Now - type of Visa is "X" indicates you have Entry Visa.Entry Visa is NOT Tourist Visa as per consulate. It is for persons of Indian origin and spouse and children of Indian citizens/persons of Indian origin/OCI cardholder (other than those registered as OCI cardholders). Idiots do not provide clarity for Entry Visa and agents are claiming that you are tourist. No technically you are NOT tourist in your own country of origin so this visa is restored effective 15th Nov,2021 - Monday as per Consulate in USA. UK & China are different cases. Ask same question to your local consulate via Twitter and add their boss @DrSJaishankar, @MEAIndia, @narendramodi, @PMOIndia. Good luck ! Jai Hind !

Hello there, I'm an Estonian citizen and I would like to get Visa to enter India in January to have a wedding. I know that the current situation is very difficult but I really hope to get a visa for me and my family. Me and my bride from Shillong are trying to find an opportunity to get married and start living together in Estonia for more than a year already. Covid was always playing against us in this matter. I'm looking forward to hearing from you soon. Thank you in advance! Kind regards

Dear Sir / Madam, I have not visited my parents for the past 2 years and with recent relaxation for travel, I am intending to travel from Sydney to Chennai between the dates 26th Dec 2021 to Feb 9th 2022. I originally had 5 year tourist e-visa and during my last visit my Australian passport got damaged and had to issue a new passport. Attached herewith a screenshot of the 5 year e-visa i had been granted earlier stamped in my previous passport. I noticed in your website, currently only 30 days is issued and not 5 year (if i have to re-apply). My tickets are already booked and are non-refundable. What are my options? 1. can i book for 30 days and apply for extension for the rest of the period? 2. Can my already granted e-visa be applied to my new passport? 3. Should i apply for a new 5 year e-visa passport? With ageing parents, i intend to travel atleast 2 to 3 times to India and this is really useful to me. Kindly provide support and guidance on how to receive the right visa documentation for my visit. Already i am preparing for all the other documentation required which is time consuming and this was not anticipated. Appreciate your help on this. Looking forward for your earliest response. I have been double vaccinated with International covid certificate and have valid passport to travel which has more than 6 months validity. Regards

Dear Sirs/Madam, I am originally from India, who is currently a USA Citizen, & I was granted a 5-year eTouristVisa eVisa issued on 11/01/2020, & Valid till 09/01/2025. & I visited India from 27/01/2020 to 05/02/2020 on this eVisa. Due to Covid, I was not able to visit my parents at India in the last 2years. CAN I TRAVEL TO INDIA TO VISIT MY PARENTS DURING DECEMBER'2021, with my above eVisa, which is valid till 2025? Appreciate your clarifying reply. Thanks & best wishes

The site where I am trying to apply for evisa says. "The specified URL is inaccessible at this time. Please try after some time". This has been like that all day. Can you please fix this ?

Gurpreet Singh 17-02-2022

I am trying from last one month to get regular paper visa but got this message all the time "The specified URL is inaccessible at this time. Please try after some time". I got this message as soon as I hit "Regular/paper visa" tab. I tried different browsers, different devices, different ip addresses but every time failed to get to the next page. Its shameful for India that they cannot maintain an important website. This is digital India.

When will India reinstate our U.S citizen's 10 year multiple entry tourist visas? Mine is still valid until end of 2025 and the 1 month e-visa is useless for me, I need more than one month to visit all my family and friends in India. Have been going now for 15 years every Winter. Please, please tell the government to reinstate our visas, or renew them as multiple entry e-visas. I love India and want to return to India for several months at the end of this year, beginning next.

Please can India reinstate the Evisa system for U.K as to get a visa is a nightmare not getting an early date, like me havent seen the family since 3 years due to covid now want to travel

Can you please tell me who actually benefits from this political tit-for-tat nonsense over the suspended e-visa UK service? Especially given the number of british born indians in the UK? Personally speaking my husband hasn't seen his mum in three years due to covid restrictions and my son has only met his grandma once. He's now 6. The paper visa would be fine if consular appointments were more readily available. There is currently nothing until April. Indian tourism is missing out on so much revenue.

Just found out that I could not get an appointment in time to process my visa before my flight. I will lose a lot of money but the Indian economy will lose even more! I will not make the mistake of trying to travel to India again!

Is the UK on the list of 156 countries whose e-visas have been reinstated? I am on British passport and my 5 year e-visa has been suspended.

Can you please advise when will India reinstate the Evisa facility for China citizen
