SURPRISE ME!
Hello fellow travellers, we've got your Christmas presents a little early this year! There’s good news for people travelling to India on a business trip or to visit family and friends. In an effort to boost tourism, India has recently introduced an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) facility that allows citizens of over 40 countries to obtain Indian visa on arrival.
Foreign travellers must apply for an online authorization four days prior to the date of travel. The ETA will be issued after paying a non-refundable fee and is valid for 30 days from the date of arrival in India. An online confirmation will be sent within five working days for the same.
Citizens of the following countries will be able to get the Indian visa on arrival:
Australia | Brazil | Cambodia | Djibouti | Fiji |
Finland | Germany | Indonesia | Israel | Japan |
Jordan | Kenya | Kiribati | Laos | Luxembourg |
Marshall Islands | Mauritius | Mexico | Micronesia | Myanmar |
Nauru | New Zealand | Norway | Oman | Palau |
Palestine | Papua New Guinea | Philippines | Russia | Samoa |
Singapore | Solomon Islands | South Korea | Thailand | Tonga |
Tuvalu | Ukraine | United Arab Emirates | United States | Vietnam |
This is just the beginning. In phase 2 of ETA, Indian visa on arrival will be available for citizens in over 100 countries! Watch this space for updates!
