E-visa facility to visit India is available on the Government of India’s website: www.indianvisaonline.gov.in.

This is the only authorized website for applying for e-visa for India and applicants are requested not to apply on any other website for e-visa services.

One Indian embassy in Europe says the following fake websites are located outside India and are outside the judicial purview of Government of India:

https://www.evisatoindia.org.in

https://www.evisaindia.com

https://www.indianevisaservice.org

https://www.indiaimmigration.org

https://www.evisaindia.org.in

https://www.indiaonlineevisas.org.in

https://www.indiaevisa.org

In order to mislead applicants, some of these websites have created images and home page templates mimicking the Government of India’s websites for e-visa application.
