Indian eVisas cannot be extended; travelers must leave India before their authorized stay expires.
What You Need to Know
The Indian eVisa allows a stay of up to the period mentioned in the eVisa approval. You can find the period in the approval mentioned under "Permitted Duration of Stay" which is mentioned under e-Visa Information. So, once the eVisa is issued, an Indian eVisa cannot be extended or converted into another visa type while inside India. If you need to stay longer, you must apply for a different visa through an Indian embassy or consulate outside India. Overstaying may result in fines, deportation, or bans on future travel to India.
Our Recommendation
If you believe you may need to stay beyond your eVisa’s permitted duration, contact the Indian embassy or consulate well in advance to explore available options or apply for a different visa before your trip.
A Quick Tip
Always check your eVisa’s validity period and permitted length of stay before finalizing your travel. Ensure your plans comply with India’s immigration rules to avoid penalties or entry restrictions.
