Below, we explain the process in details on how to apply for your visa and get it the same day.
The process of Acquiring India Emergency Visa Application
To apply and get your Visa involves three simple steps namely:
- Apply for the visa
- Make the payment
- Receive the e-visa on your email
Apply for the India Visa
The India Emergency Visa is also called a visa on arrival because of the fact that the visa will be stamped on one of the blank pages on your passport and also the visa application process is completed once you reach India.
The visa application process is online. Just log in to the website and start the process. You can apply for the visa regardless of your location as long as you have a good internet connection and a computer.You will be required to fill in your details. Do not use details that are not tallying with your travel documents. That inconsistency will lead to rejection of your visa. Input the date in the correct format ensuring that you follow all the instructions as written. The form is an easy one and also straightforward so we are sure you will not have a difficult time filling it.
Another thing besides the form is that you will be asked to attach is a copy of your passport and a passport-sized photo. Ensure that the information is legible and you use a recent photo of you. Your face should be seen clearly. If you do not have a recent passport photo, you would consider having someone take a digital picture of you and you upload it.
You will be asked to specify the kind of e-visa you want. Do not start wondering which option you should pick. E-medical means that you are visiting India for medical reasons and if you have an attendant, they will choose the medical attendant visa. If you are visiting family and friends or just for adventure, the e-tourist visa would be ideal. Finally, if you are there for business reasons, E-business visa would be your choice. Again, if you are stuck, we are just a call away and we will help you navigate.
Once you are through with the application, countercheck before submission. Make sure no spelling mistakes and that all details are correct. That keenness will eliminate any possibility of rejection of your application. Allow me to reiterate on this importance. Since you pay after completing the application but before you get the notification, any mistake that may mean reapplication may mean the loss of time and money. Thus be careful.
Make the Payment
The next step is to make the payment. The charges you will be required to pay are mostly service charges and the government of India fee. You are well-aware that visa processing requires manpower and resources.
There are three main ways of making your online payment depending on your country, the convenience or preference. You may use your debit or credit card. The process is just like the way you use your credit/debit card to make online payments. In case you are stuck, do not hesitate to contact our customer care executives. They will direct you and you should not be worried as they are reliable and your money is safe.
Finally, you can use PayPal if you do not have a credit or debit card. For you to use it, you have to open an account with PayPal online, verify your details and identity and then deposit some money in your account. This process will vary from one country to another. However, one standard is the fact that there will be some banks in your country that are affiliated to PayPal such that you can transfer money from that bank account to your PayPal account. Then use cash from your PayPal account to pay for your visa on arrival fees.
An important tip - for the safety of your finances do not open a PayPal account on public computers. Use a personal computer instead.
Receive an Email Notification
As you fill the form, one of the things you will be asked about is your email address. It is your responsibility to ensure that the email is working and you can recall all the login credentials.In the email, you will be notified of the success of your application and receive your receive on arrival visa. Sometimes, the notification may not get in the inbox folder and you should check the spam folder just in case it is there. This important tip can ease your anxiety about whether the process was successful or not.
Since your ticket to India was ready, you can now take your trip. The next few processes are equally important for the successful completion of your visa application process.
What Next now that you have E-Visa?
Besides completing your personal travel arrangements, you will need to print out the e-visa and carry it along with other documents to India. Something worth noting is that your valid passport should have two blank pages before traveling. This two blank pages will come in handy once you get to the airport.
Stamping of the E-Visa
When you land to that particular airport in India, the process is not complete and you will have to proceed to the first counter for the stamping of your emergency visa on one of the blank pages of the passport. Next walk to the immigration where the officer will put the official stamp on your passport. Some important heads up – this process is not automatic. In some busy airports like Mumbai, it may take a while because the influx of people is high. Thus, as you plan your journey, give yourself some allowance of time to avoid inconveniencing those who would be picking you at the airport or even delay people you were having a business meeting with.
After the stamping, you can now proceed to your destination and enjoy your stay in India till your return to your country or proceed to a different location.
