For the people of the US who are visiting India for business can stay for 60 days but they have the benefit that USA citizens can get 5 or 10 years visa when they can make multiple entries. But you should have 6 months passport validity.

• This e visa process is not for the people of Pakistan as they have to go in person for the visa application process. They are not eligible for the online process.
• Your return ticket and sufficient amount of money for your stay should be there with you with proofs. It is important to be checked so that you don’t take any loan here.
• Within the same year you can get a visa for two times and don’t forget to get a copy for your visa at the time of arrival in India.
