Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| eVisa application Apply before departure | Apply for an Indian eVisa at indianvisaonline.gov.in at least 4 days before travel. Fees range from $25 to $80 USD depending on visa type (tourist, business, medical). Approval usually arrives 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 Uzbekistan 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 Immigration may ask for proof | Indian immigration officers routinely ask for a return or onward flight ticket at passport control. Have a printed copy or a screenshot of your booking ready — they will check the date matches your eVisa validity. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a printed hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from your host in India. Immigration rarely asks for it, but having it ready avoids delays if they do. | 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. Indian immigration does not enforce a specific minimum amount, but they may ask if you look underprepared. | Recommended |
eVisa is not extendable
Once your eVisa expires, you must leave India. Overstaying can result in fines, deportation, or a ban on future travel. Set a reminder to leave a day or two before the expiry.
Keep digital copies of everything
Save your eVisa, passport photo, return ticket, and hotel booking as PDFs on your phone and in cloud storage. If you lose your phone, you'll still have access.
