India FAQ
Which visa should I choose — 30 days, 1 year, or 5 years?
For a single short trip, 30 days is enough. If you'll return to India within 1–5 years, the longer visa is worthwhile and allows multiple entries (up to 90 days per visit).
How long will the visa take?
Usually 3–5 working days. We recommend filing at least 4 days before your flight, and earlier if you can.
Do I need a special photo?
Yes — a passport photo on a white background, facing forward with both ears visible. A non-compliant photo is a common cause of rejection; we check it in advance.
How to get an India e-Visa from Israel
Every Israeli citizen needs a visa to enter India. The common route is the e-Tourist Visa, filed on the official government portal (indianvisaonline.gov.in). The application includes personal details, passport details, parents' details, references in India and Israel, and uploading a passport photo and passport scan in an exact format. We complete and submit the whole application for you in Hebrew, after a human check — so you're not stuck facing a long English form.
30 days, 1 year, or 5 years — what's the difference
The e-Tourist visa comes in three tiers. The 30-day option (double entry) suits a single trip. The 1-year and 5-year visas allow multiple entries, each stay up to 90 days — worthwhile if you return to India or combine several trips. The government fee differs between tiers, and we show it transparently before payment. Note: the 30-day fee is cheaper in the April–June season.
Why so many details — and how we make it painless
The Indian form asks for far more than passport details: religion, marital status, occupation, parents' names, an address and reference in India, a reference in Israel, and travel history. Details that are wrong or inconsistent with the passport are a common cause of rejection. We collect the information from you in Hebrew, in a simple clear form, check everything by hand, and complete the official application for you.
Rejection, delays, and dual nationality
India doesn't always publish a detailed rejection reason, but common mistakes are a non-compliant photo, a poor passport scan, or details (religion, parents, address) that don't match your documents. If rejected, you can usually reapply after fixing the issue — sometimes after a short waiting period. Apply at least a week before flying so there's time to correct things if needed.
Dual passport holders: the India e-Visa is linked to the passport you applied with. If you also hold a foreign passport, check in advance which passport you'll enter on — and apply on that exact passport. Using a different passport from the one on the application can lead to denial at entry even if the authorization shows as "approved".
