India launches four fresh e-visa categories — Transit, Mountaineering, Film, and Entry — to make its travel system more flexible.
Travellers apply entirely online, avoiding the hassle of visiting embassies or consulates.
The e-Transit visa allows two entries within 30 days for those with confirmed onward tickets.
Adventure seekers use the e-Mountaineering visa to climb or trek, with stays up to six months.
Filmmakers take advantage of the e-Film visa, securing multiple entries valid for a year to shoot in India.
The e-Entry visa serves Indians abroad, their spouses, and dependents, allowing multiple entries within three months.
Applicants for mountaineering or film visas obtain prior clearance from relevant Indian authorities (like the Mountaineering Foundation or Ministry of Information & Broadcasting).
After ETA approval, visitors go through biometric checks at the airport and then receive visa stamping.
Processing is fast, typically completing in 24 to 72 hours, which greatly speeds up visa issuance.
By expanding these e-visa options, India streamlines travel, reduces paperwork, and promotes tourism.
