In circumstances where the visa requirements may be considered stringent for travelers to obtain visa-free access into other nations, the Government of the Republic of India has implemented an electronic visa service that enables citizens of many nationalities to apply for visas online to access the country for short stays. The e-Visa issued to travelers for stays such as tourism purposes, business events, conference attendance, and visiting the country for medical purposes is valid for different periods of time ranging from 30 days to 5 years. The process of acquiring the e-Visa only requires the applicant to access the online Indian e-Visa portal.
