Tourist Visa on Arrival (TVOA-ETA)

The Tourist Visa on Arrival - enabled with Electronic Travel Authorization (TVOA-ETA) scheme was launched on 27 November 2014 for 43 countries.  Citizens of these countries can apply online for tourist visas (twice a year, each visit not exceeding 30 days, visa duration non-extendable except in the event of medical emergencies) which shall be granted within 72 hours through email. The applicant is expected to take a print of the email and can travel to India through 9 designated international airports (Bangalore, Chennai, Kochin, Delhi, Goa, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Mumbai and Thiruvananthapuram).

            It may kindly be noted that the TVOA-ETA scheme includes 12 countries (Cambodia, Finland, Indonesia, Japan, Laos, Luxemburg, Myanmar, New Zealand, Philippines, Singapore, Vietnam and Republic of Korea) for which Visa-On-Arrival scheme was available earlier at 8 airports.  Subsequent to the rollout of the TVOA scheme, the earlier Visa-on-Arrival scheme is to be discontinued.  However, in order to have a short cushion period, the earlier Visa-on-Arrival scheme (without ETA) for the 12 countries above will continue in parallel with TVOA-ETA until 26 December 2014.    After this date, the earlier Visa-on-Arrival scheme would be discontinued for these 12 countries and only the new TVOA-ETA scheme would be available.
