If you hold a Slovenian passport, you can visit India for tourism, business, or medical purposes with an eVisa — no embassy visit needed. The eVisa is valid for up to 60 days and allows double entry. This option has been available since 2014 and remains the standard way to enter India in 2026.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| eVisa application Apply before travel | Apply for an Indian eVisa at indianvisaonline.gov.in at least 4 days before departure. Fees range from $25 to $80 USD depending on the visa type (tourist, business, medical). Approval typically comes within 72 hours — print the approval letter and carry it with your passport.Apply for eVisa | Required |
| Valid passport Must have 6 months validity | Your Slovenian passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your date of arrival in India. Indian immigration officers strictly enforce this — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for entry | Immigration officers at Indian airports routinely ask for proof of onward travel. Have a printed or digital copy of your return ticket or a ticket to your next destination ready. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Recommended to carry | While not always checked, having a hotel booking or an invitation letter with an address helps speed up immigration. If you're staying with friends, carry their contact details and address. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Recommended to carry | Officers may ask how you'll support yourself during your stay. Carry a recent bank statement or a credit card showing available funds — $300–$500 USD equivalent is a safe benchmark. | Recommended |
eVisa not valid at land borders
You cannot enter India from Nepal, Bhutan, or Bangladesh by road with an eVisa. You must fly into one of the designated airports. If you plan to cross by land, you'll need a regular visa from an Indian embassy.
Register with FRRO for stays over 180 days
If you plan to stay longer than 180 days (unlikely with an eVisa), you must register at the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO) within 14 days of arrival. eVisa holders are limited to 60 days, so this mainly applies to other visa types.

For a 30-day tourist eVisa, the fee is about $25. For a 1-year tourist eVisa, it's around $40. For a 5-year tourist eVisa, it's about $80. Business and medical eVisas have different fees. Payment is online by credit or debit card.

Rejections are rare but can happen if your photo doesn't meet specs, your passport has less than 6 months validity, or you have a criminal record. You can reapply after fixing the issue. There's no appeal process — just submit a new application.
It's not strictly required — immigration officers can look it up in their system. But having a printed copy or a screenshot on your phone speeds things up and avoids confusion if there's a network issue.
