What happened (e-visa entry points expanded)

India’s e-visa programme added additional land ports to the e-visa entry-point list. The updated list is made available through the e-visa portal, so eligible travellers can check revised land entry locations before travel.

Background and earlier position

An e-visa system depends on designated entry options. Before this update, travellers used the existing portal guidance to match travel plans with the already-notified land entry ports available under the e-visa programme.

What changed now

The current update expands the land-transport coverage of the e-visa option by including additional land ports in the updated entry-point list. The update is described as an administrative facilitation measure under the e-visa programme, delivered through the e-visa portal.
