Too many travellers want to do the right thing, and make their requests far (too) in advance.<\/span>. In this case, the e-Visa becomes null and void and it is impossible to apply for a new 30-day e-Visa until the previous one has expired...<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you apply too early in relation to your planned travel date, you risk ending up with an expired e-Visa before you've even had a chance to use it. This can be particularly frustrating and potentially costly if you have to cancel or postpone your trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fortunately, there is a solution for travelers who find themselves in this tricky situation. Instead of waiting for the first 30-day e-Visa to expire, you can apply immediately for a one-year e-Visa<\/strong>. It may be more expensive, but it will cover your travel dates and, above all, allow you to embark. It is valid for 1 year from date of issue, and allows stays of up to 90 days in India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On the application form, you must indicate the number of the 30-day e-Visa already issued and currently valid. The authorities may send you an e-mail asking for the reason for the change. Reply promptly, being as honest and pragmatic as possible<\/span> you've got the date wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If for any reason you can't or don't want to opt for the one-year e-Visa, there's still another option: apply for a traditional visa in your passport<\/strong>. This usually requires a trip to the Indian embassy or consulate, and an appointment. Although more time-consuming and potentially more complex, this option may be preferable for some travelers, particularly those planning a longer stay or with specific needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is nothing new, and is at the root of 80% of the exchanges we have with travelers: travelers tend to think that their 30-day e-Visa is invalid because the dates entered on it are not those of their trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Don't panic, this is usually a normal situation.<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n For example: you travel to India from October 29 to November 20, 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The dates indicated on the ETA are the dates between which you must enter<\/span> in India<\/strong>. In this case, you must arrive in India between October 15 and November 14. Perfect timing, since you're arriving on October 29!<\/em> When you arrive, you'll get a stamp in your passport allowing you to stay until November 28, regardless of whether the ETA shows an expiry date of November 14. Leaving India on November 20, all's well!<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" India, with its rich culture and varied landscapes, attracts many tourists from all over the world every year.

The solution: Opt for the one-year e-Visa<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Alternative: The visa in the passport<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Still ambiguous about validity dates of 30-day e-Visas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
