Hi Amelie, welcome to AFF.

Please check the site you are proposing to use. This is the site I used recently to apply for my Indian eVisa (and visited successfully). Indian Visa Application Note that it has a gov.in domain.

Take RooFlyers advice, there are a lot of commercial organisations out there masquerading as Indian Visa sites. Go with the official one, they charge less and you can be confident you will actually get your visa.

I have just travelled to India in May 2018, using the e-Visa option.
As mentioned up-thread, use the official Indian Government e-Visa website which ends in gov.in. All other sites are commercial and you will pay extra for this "service".

You will need a passport photo to upload, along with your passport "bio-page." - These both have to be scanned. I received my e-Visa within 3 days of lodging the application so it was very speedy indeed.

yes. definitely use the .gov.in site.
we went late last year. mine came in ~24hrs and the other family members took 48-72hrs.

Unfortunately Australian passport holders can't use the Tourist Visa On Arrival option (curses to kiwis!). Only the following can:

• Finland
• Japan
• Luxembourg
• New Zealand
• Singapore
• Cambodia
• Vietnam
• Philippines
• Laos
• Indonesia
• Myanmar

The correct portal is: Indian Visa Application
