Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a visa for India, or can I enter visa-free?
There's no visa-free entry on an ordinary Turkish passport, but you won't deal with the old consular process either. India runs an e-visa system for tourists, so you apply online and stay up to 30 days on an e-Tourist Visa. Holders of service and diplomatic passports are exempt and can stay up to 90 days.
How do I get the Indian e-visa?
It's all done online: fill in the form on the official application page at indianvisaonline.gov.in, upload your passport and photo details, and pay the fee by card. Approval lands in your inbox, and a printout is enough to carry with you. Processing time shifts with demand, so apply a few days ahead and confirm the current requirements on the official site when you submit.
How long is the e-Tourist Visa valid?
The tourist e-visa grants a 30-day stay from entry and can be extended if you meet the conditions. Plan your trip around that window, and look into the extension options in advance if you're after a longer stay.
Which passports get into India without a visa?
Service (grey) and diplomatic (black) passport holders can stay up to 90 days with no visa required. Ordinary passports get no exemption, so the e-visa is mandatory.
