We encourage you to submit your application well in advance and contact us as early as possible<\/span>, as it will be difficult to secure an appointment close to your trip date (and you need to take into account leadtime to deliver the Visa once appointment done).<\/p>\n Please send us all your documents by email as soon as possible (including the online form; see “Documents to Provide<\/em>” below) so that we can try to obtain a suitable appointment for you (we will submit your application on your behalf without you needing to come in person). Your passport can be sent to us (physically) a few days before your appointment date.<\/p>\n \u00a0DECEMBER 2025<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Effective immediately, India has significantly increased (doubled!) its Consular Fees<\/strong> for Business eVisas, Medical eVisas, and Conference eVisas.<\/p>\n Indeed, for all nationalities eligible for eVisas and subject to Consular Fees (some countries have a zero-fee agreement, such as Angola, Burundi, and Cambodia), the fees have been doubled and are now, for example, $120, $165, $190, or $240\/$242 for a Business eVisa.<\/p>\n For instance, French citizens<\/strong> will now have to pay Consular Fees of $170<\/strong><\/span> (instead of the previous $82).<\/p>\n \n It is important to note that the fees associated with Visa Travel International<\/strong> <\/span>(services, forms, emergency processing, etc.) remain unchanged<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0SEPTEMBER 2025<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n eArrival card<\/strong><\/span>: From 1 October 2025<\/strong>, the paper form submitted in flight for disembarkation formalities will be replaced by a digital arrival card, called \u201ce-Arrival Card\u201d.
