India e-Visa processing time reduced to under 24 hours for most nationalities

Apply at indianvisaonline.gov.in. Cost varies by nationality: US $10, UK $25, most European $25, Australia $25. Valid for 90 days from first entry, or up to 180 days for medical visa. Common issue: system sometimes rejects photo uploads — use a plain white background, forward-facing, no glasses. Apply at least 4 days before travel as a buffer. The e-Visa allows double entry for tourism. Print or save your e-Visa approval — show alongside passport at immigration.
