The e-Tourist Visa costs $25 for 30 days (single or double entry) or $40 for 1 year (multiple entry, 90 days per visit) or $80 for 5 years (multiple entry, 90 days per visit).

The e-Visa is valid at 28 designated airports including Delhi (DEL), Mumbai (BOM), Bangalore (BLR), Chennai (MAA), Kolkata (CCU), and Hyderabad (HYD). Required information at application: passport details, travel dates, accommodation address in India, a passport-style photo (JPEG, 350x350 pixels), and a scan of your passport bio page (PDF, under 300KB). Biometrics are captured on arrival. If you need a longer stay or a visa type not available as eTV, apply at the Indian Embassy in Warsaw (processing 5 to 7 working days, standard tourist visa $82).
