What happened

India is expanding designated entry points for e-visa arrivals. The expansion includes additional land ports that travellers can use when the travellers hold approved e-visa credentials.

Background and earlier position

E-visa entry into India has been tied to specified, designated entry points. An e-visa holder could use only those notified entry points after the e-visa was approved.

What changed now

India broadened the set of designated entry options for e-visa holders. The change includes additional land ports for eligible e-visa travellers, and it emphasises administrative readiness for implementation at the entry points used for e-visa verification.
