印度:出發前須知
重點
- Most visitors need an e-Visa from the official site indianvisaonline.gov.in/evisa (apply at least 4 days ahead); look-alike sites charge much more.
- The free e-Arrival Card is mandatory since 1 Apr 2026 (paper forms discontinued): submit it within 72 hours before arrival online or in the Su-Swagatam app.
- Satellite phones and GPS satellite messengers (e.g. Iridium, Garmin inReach) are illegal without a licence—tourists have been arrested.
- E-cigarettes and vapes are banned (import, sale and production).
- e-Visa entry is only via designated airports/seaports, not land borders.
入境與簽證
Visitors from most countries need a visa; the simplest option is the e-Tourist Visa (30 days double entry, or 1 or 5 years multiple entry with max 180 days per year). Visa on arrival exists only for Japan, South Korea and some UAE nationals. Nepal and Bhutan citizens need no visa. All foreigners, including OCI holders, must file the e-Arrival Card. Pakistani nationals are not eligible for e-Visa.
