Why applications on this route get refused
Incomplete documentation
Missing a required document is a common cause of refusal or delay.
How to avoid it: Work through this checklist before submitting your e-Visa application.
Applied too close to your travel date
India's e-Visa system requires applications at least 4 days before arrival, late applications risk not being processed in time.
How to avoid it: Apply well before your 4-day minimum window, ideally several weeks ahead.
Wrong e-Visa duration or entry type selected
India offers 30-day, 1-year, and 5-year e-Tourist visas with different stay limits per visit, picking the wrong one for your actual travel plans can cause problems at the border even with an approved visa.
How to avoid it: Match the visa duration to your actual travel plans, not just the cheapest or fastest option.
Weak or insufficient financial proof
Unclear evidence of funds raises doubts about your ability to support the trip.
How to avoid it: Provide clear, recent evidence of funds that covers your planned stay.
