A long-term option for frequent visitors to India

Travelers who make repeat trips to India often find reapplying every year tedious. The Indian 5 Years Visit Visa solves that by staying valid for a full five years from its issue date, letting holders enter and exit as many times as they need throughout that window.

What makes this option worth considering:

• Multiple entries permitted across the entire five-year validity period
• Most nationalities can stay up to ninety days per individual visit
• Citizens of the USA, UK, Canada, and Japan get an extended allowance of one hundred eighty days per visit
• Total time spent in India during any single calendar year caps at one hundred eighty days
• Validity counts from the date the visa is granted, not from the traveler’s first arrival

Since this runs entirely through the standard e-tourist visa system, there’s no embassy visit required. Applicants submit a passport scan and photograph online, pay the applicable fee, and receive approval by email once processing completes. Given the ninety-day limit per visit for most passport holders, this option suits travelers planning several shorter trips over the years rather than one extended stay.
