How to apply for an Indian tourist Visa?
India, mainly famous for its diversity and rich culture, is a must-visit country for all travelers. Tourists who wish to visit India for exploring the vast culture are required to obtain an Indian visa. Indian Visa can be easily obtained by two methods:
- Traditional Method- A regular visa to India is attained by the traditional method if the traveler is planning to stay in India for a longer time.
To obtain an Indian visa via traditional method, the applicant is required to visit the Indian Consulate nearest to his/her place.
The traditional visa obtaining method requires a lot of time and paperwork.
- Online Method- In the year 2014, the Indian Government introduced online services to obtain an Indian Tourist visa, which was named as Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA). Later on, the name was replaced with e-Visa. The purpose of launching ETA was to increase the footfall of tourists in India. The e-Visa does not require hefty paperwork and consumes less time.
