| Valid passport Must have at least 6 months validity | Your Moroccan passport needs at least 6 months of remaining validity from your date of arrival in India. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from India | Immigration officers at Indian airports routinely ask for a confirmed onward or return ticket. Have a printed copy or a digital version on your phone showing your departure from India within your eVisa validity period. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a hotel confirmation or a letter from your host with their address and contact details. Officers rarely ask for it, but having it ready avoids delays at the counter. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can cover your stay | Have a bank statement or credit card showing you have enough funds for your trip. There is no fixed minimum amount, but around $300–$500 USD for a short visit is a safe benchmark. | Recommended |
eVisa is not a guaranteed entry
Having an approved eVisa does not guarantee entry. The immigration officer at the port of arrival has the final say. Always carry supporting documents like your return ticket and accommodation confirmation.
eVisa types and validity
The Indian eVisa comes in three main types: tourist (30 days, double entry), business (1 year, multiple entry), and medical (60 days, triple entry). Choose the right one for your trip.
