Registry entry

India e-Visa (e-Tourist)

Online application for an Indian e-Tourist Visa (e-Visa), filed by a foreign national through the Bureau of Immigration's Indian Visa Online portal (indianvisaonline.gov.in), Ministry of Home Affairs, under India's e-Visa scheme. Unlike this registry's other Visa-vertical schemas, which model an origin-country's outbound visa application, this is a destination-country e-Visa: India is the destination and the applicant is a foreign national. Models the e-Tourist Visa (e-T1V, in its 30-day/1-year/5-year variants, and e-T2V for mountaineering/trekking) specifically — the e-Visa scheme also offers e-Business, e-Medical, e-Medical Attendant, e-Student, e-Family, e-Conference, e-Transit, and e-Miscellaneous Visa categories with their own purpose-specific fields and supporting-document requirements, none of which this document models. Covers the pre-application eligibility/health-screening gate, the main multi-part application form (applicant, passport, address, family, visa, previous-visit, reference, and security-screening details), the required photograph and passport-page uploads, and the final fee-payment undertaking. Does not itself submit the application, process payment, or determine visa eligibility by nationality — the live indianvisaonline.gov.in portal is always authoritative; see VERIFICATION.md.

Field reference

90 fields across 9 steps, read from the published schema.json — names, types, requiredness, and validation as the document states them. The live government form remains the authoritative source.

Passport and health-screening gate

  • passportNumber string required

    The passport number is captured up front, before the main application form, as part of the site's pre-application gating step.

    length: 0–20
  • nationality string required

    Rendered as a dropdown of ~192 countries/territories on the live site (id `gate_nationality`, then re-selected on the main form as `nationality_id`). Modeled as free text per GovSchema convention for nationality fields rather than as a closed enum. Eligibility is nationality-dependent: nationals of Pakistan are explicitly excluded from the e-Visa scheme (must apply for a regular visa at an Indian Mission); nationals of a number of other countries (confirmed absent from both official fee schedules as of this schema's retrieval date) are also not offered e-Tourist e-Visas, including mainland China, Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Nigeria, Somalia, Yemen, North Korea, and Sudan. Bhutan and Nepal nationals do not need any visa for India under bilateral treaty. This document cannot enforce that exclusion list itself — see VERIFICATION.md.

    length: 0–100classification: pii
  • nameAsInPassport string required

    Name as in passport

    length: 0–200classification: pii
  • visitedEbolaAffectedCountriesLast21Days boolean required

    Ebola health-screening question shown immediately after the pre-application gate. completed21DaysSinceEbolaTerritoryExit and hasEbolaSymptomsOrDisease only apply when this is answered yes.

  • completed21DaysSinceEbolaTerritoryExit boolean optional

    Mandatory eligibility check, asked only when visitedEbolaAffectedCountriesLast21Days is true. Answering 'No' produces a blocking message on the live site ('Apply after completion of 21 days of exit from that territory') and the application cannot proceed.

  • hasEbolaSymptomsOrDisease boolean optional

    Do you have any Ebola-related symptoms, or did you suffer from Ebola disease, in the last 21 days?

  • ebolaSymptomType enum optional

    Selected from the site's symptom dropdown, shown only when hasEbolaSymptomsOrDisease is true.

    enum: 7 values

e-Visa application registration

  • passportType enum required

    The e-Tourist Visa scheme is available to ordinary-passport holders; the eligibility criteria explicitly exclude diplomatic and official passport holders (and laissez-passer/other international travel document holders), who must apply for a regular visa at an Indian Mission instead. The dropdown itself still presents all five passport types shown on the live site.

    enum: ordinary | official | diplomatic | service | special
  • portOfArrival enum required

    The Indian airport, seaport, or land immigration checkpost where the applicant will first enter India. Confirmed from the live site's `missioncode_id` dropdown (81 entries) cross-checked against tvoa.html's 'Authorized Immigration Checkposts' list. A second, narrower dropdown (`missioncode_id_bgd`, 31 airports only) is shown instead for some nationalities (observed for Bangladesh); this document models the general list.

    enum: 61 values
  • dateOfBirth date required

    Date of birth

  • emailAddress string required

    Email ID

    length: 0–100
  • emailAddressConfirmation string required

    Must match emailAddress.

    length: 0–100
  • expectedDateOfArrival date required

    Per the scheme's lead-time rule the application must be submitted at least 4 days before this date, and this date must be no more than 120 days after the application date.

  • eTouristVisaVariant enum required

    Bundles sub-type, validity, and number of entries into a single selection, matching the live site's combined purpose/duration dropdown (`evisa_purpose`) for e-Tourist Visa options; duration and entries are system-determined by this choice and are not separately editable fields. Confirmed live dropdown entries: 'e-Tourist Visa 30 days (e-T1 V) - TOURISM,RECREATION,SIGHT-SEEING' (code 251), 'e-Tourist Visa 1 year (e-T1 V) - RECREATION/SIGHT-SEEING' (code 21), 'e-Tourist Visa 5 year (e-T1 V) - RECREATION/SIGHT-SEEING' (code 254), and 'e-Tourist Visa (e-T2 V) - FOR MOUNTAINEERING /TREKKING EXPEDITION' (code 455). The scheme's eligibility text also names other permitted tourist purposes (casual visits to friends/relatives, short-term yoga programmes, short courses in local languages/arts/crafts/cooking, and short unpaid voluntary work) that may correspond to additional dropdown codes not enumerated during this research pass — see VERIFICATION.md.

    enum: t1v_30_days_double_entry | t1v_1_year_multiple_entry | t1v_5_years_multiple_entry | t2v_mountaineering_trekking

Why this cycle picked up India's e-Visa

This is the recurring "GovSchema Standard Research" cycle (GOV-914). The prior cycle (GOV-900) authored India's ITR-1 SAHAJ income tax return, leaving India at 4/6 verticals with two candidate entries remaining in discovery/catalog.json: Company Incorporation (SPICe+, MCA Form INC-32) and e-Visa. SPICe+ was deferred again — mca.gov.in still 403-blocks direct fetch, the same class of bot-block already recorded for nzta.govt.nz and i-kfz.de, and would require a dedicated headless-browser pass. The e-Visa candidate had the stronger lead (an official sample-application PDF fetchable directly, indianvisaonline.gov.in/evisa/images/SampleForm.pdf, HTTP 200), so it was picked this cycle. This document closes the IN × Visa cell (India now 5/6 verticals; only Business Formation remains).

Sources examined

  • Document (id, version): in/mha/evisa-etourist / 1.0.0
  • Spec version: GovSchema 0.3.0
  • Authority: Bureau of Immigration, Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India (Indian Visa Online portal).
  • Primary source (form structure): the official sample application walkthrough PDF (evisa/images/SampleForm.pdf, fetched directly, HTTP 200) — a 9-screen, screenshot-based walkthrough of the online registration wizard.
  • Primary source (scheme rules): the e-Tourist Visa scheme page (evisa/tvoa.html, fetched directly, HTTP 200), including its embedded eligibility criteria, document-requirement list, photo/scan specifications, port-of-arrival/exit lists, and two dated fee-schedule PDFs (Etourist_fee_final.pdf, 20-Feb-2026; eTV_revised_fee_final.pdf, 15-Apr-2026).
  • Corroborating source (current field structure): a live headless- browser (Playwright) pass over indianvisaonline.gov.in/evisa/Registration, needed because the sample PDF proved to be an older/simplified snapshot — its flat 5-checkbox "Visa Service" selector has been replaced on the live site by a single combined purpose/duration dropdown (evisa_purpose) with 70 options spanning every e-Visa category (e-Tourist, e-Business, e-Medical, e-Student, e-Conference, e-Transit, etc.). The live pass also surfaced a pre-application gating step (passport number/nationality/name) and an Ebola/health-screening question set not shown at all in the sample PDF.
  • Access blocks encountered: evisa/instruction.html (the sample PDF's stated instructions page) now 404s — its content has been folded into modals on tvoa.html, which this document sources from instead. Reaching the live wizard's later pages (Applicant Details, Family Details, Visa Details, Additional Questions) requires solving a live CAPTCHA, which was not attempted; those pages' field structure and exact option lists are sourced from the sample PDF walkthrough instead (see gaps below).
  • Retrieved / reviewed: 2026-07-03.
  • Reviewer: GovSchema Engineering (Standards Engineer — initial authoring source review).

Scope decision: e-Tourist Visa only

The e-Visa scheme covers nine categories (e-Tourist, e-Business, e-Medical, e-Medical Attendant, e-Student, e-Family, e-Conference, e-Transit, e-Miscellaneous, e-Production Investment), each with its own purpose-specific sub-fields and supporting-document rules (e.g. e-Business Sports requires a Ministry of Youth Affairs & Sports clearance letter; e-Student requires an admission letter and bank guarantee). Consistent with discovery/catalog.json's candidate scoping (in/mha/evisa-etourist, "India e-Visa (e-Tourist)"), this document models only the e-Tourist Visa category (e-T1V's 30-day/1-year/5-year variants, and e-T2V for mountaineering/trekking), via the eTouristVisaVariant field. The other eight categories are out of scope for this version and would be separate schemas (or a visaCategory axis added in a future major version) if authored later.

Known gaps (explicit, not guessed)

Per the live-browser pass, several dropdowns on later application pages could not be confirmed in full because reaching them requires solving a live CAPTCHA:

  • gender — modelled as male / female / transgender, matching the convention already used consistently by this registry's other India schemas (in/mea/passport-application-first-adult, in/morth/learners-licence-application), not independently confirmed against the live e-Visa dropdown itself.
  • religion, educationalQualification, previousVisaType — each rendered as a dropdown on the source form, but the full option list was not captured; modelled as free string fields rather than guessed enums.
  • expectedPortOfExit — the live site's exit-checkpost list is broader than the confirmed portOfArrival list (additional airports plus ~34 land ICPs and several rail ICPs) and was not exhaustively enumerated; modelled as free string.
  • e-Medical Visa validity — tvoa.html's "Details of Visas" duration table and its own FAQ Q9 give contradictory durations (365 days vs. 60 days). Not applicable to this document's e-Tourist-only scope, but flagged here since it surfaced during the same source review and would need a tie-breaker source (a dated MHA circular) before an e-Medical schema is authored from the same page.
  • Seaport count contradiction — tvoa.html's "Authorized Immigration Checkposts" panel states "33 major seaports" but the live portOfArrival dropdown and the FAQ's own "19 designated seaports" answer agree on 19; this document's portOfArrival enum uses the dropdown-confirmed 19, not the panel's 33.
  • Nationality-eligibility enforcement — the nationality field cannot itself encode the scheme's per-country eligibility/fee rules (e.g. Pakistan nationals excluded entirely; mainland China absent from both fee schedules; Bhutan/Nepal nationals visa-exempt by treaty). Flagged in the field's own description; not modelled as a hard validation gate.

Mock-data test run

Per the issue's phase-4 instruction to test-run the schema with valid mock data, two representative scenarios were authored and checked field-by-field against every type/required/requiredWhen/visibleWhen/enum/ maxLength/eligibility constraint in schema.json, using a one-off Python condition evaluator (not committed to the repo) implementing the same equals/notEquals/in/greaterThan/all/any/not grammar as GSP-0013's Condition schema (spec v0.3 §8.1).

Scenario 1 — UK tourist, 30-day e-Tourist Visa, first visit to India: Oliver Hart, a British ordinary-passport holder flying into Delhi for sightseeing, no Ebola-region travel, no prior India visit, no other valid passport, single, permanent address same as present.

Scenario 2 — South African mountaineer, e-T2V, repeat visitor, Ebola- region travel history: Thandiwe Nkosi, a South African national with a British Overseas Citizen passport also held, travelling for a mountaineering/trekking expedition (e-T2V), who visited an Ebola-affected territory more than 21 days ago (triggering and clearing the health- screening follow-ups), previously held an e-Tourist Visa and visited India before, has a distinct permanent address from her present address, and visited a SAARC country in the last 3 years.

Both runs:

`` PASS — Scenario 1 - UK tourist, 30-day e-Tourist Visa, first visit to India satisfies every type/required/requiredWhen/visibleWhen/enum/maxLength/eligibility constraint. PASS — Scenario 2 - South African mountaineer, e-T2V, repeat visitor, Ebola-region travel history satisfies every type/required/requiredWhen/visibleWhen/enum/maxLength/eligibility constraint. ``

A deliberately-broken variant of Scenario 1 (dropping declarationOfCorrectness and flipping visitedEbolaAffectedCountriesLast21Days to true without its two gated follow-up questions) was also run, to confirm the evaluator itself correctly detects violations rather than passing everything by construction:

`` FAIL — Scenario 1 (deliberately broken) - sanity check: - MISSING required field 'completed21DaysSinceEbolaTerritoryExit' - MISSING required field 'hasEbolaSymptomsOrDisease' - MISSING required field 'declarationOfCorrectness' ``

Scenario 2 also correctly triggered every requiredWhen-gated follow-up (the Ebola-exposure sub-questions, the other-passport detail fields, the name-change detail, the permanent-address fields, and the full previous- visit block), while Scenario 1 (no Ebola exposure, no other passport, no name change, address unchanged, first visit) correctly required none of them.

Both registry validators were run against the schema document itself and pass:

``` $ node tools/validate.mjs registry/in/mha/evisa-etourist/1.0.0/schema.json ok registry/in/mha/evisa-etourist/1.0.0/schema.json

$ node tools/validate-ajv.mjs registry/in/mha/evisa-etourist/1.0.0/schema.json ok registry/in/mha/evisa-etourist/1.0.0/schema.json [v0.3] ```

Why most fields here are required

Unlike this registry's tax-return schemas (which review a pre-filled return), the e-Visa application is filled from scratch by the applicant, and the live site's own asterisked fields mark the large majority of questions mandatory. required: false (or requiredWhen) is reserved for fields the source form itself marks optional or conditional: the second official-language name lines are not applicable here (this is an English- only online form, unlike the paper Form 6 voter-registration precedent), surname (the form allows a blank surname when the passport carries none), the name-change/other-passport/permanent-address/previous-visit detail blocks (each gated on its own boolean), and the free-text fields flagged above as unconfirmed dropdowns.

Not modelled (system-derived, or out of this version's scope)

  • Duration and number of entries are not separate input fields: the live site derives them from the single eTouristVisaVariant selection (e.g. selecting the 5-year variant fixes both "5 years" validity and "Multiple" entries), matching this registry's "don't model what the source computes for the filer" precedent.
  • CAPTCHA, the read-only "Confirm Details" verification-page summary, and payment-gateway redirection are not modelled — they are wizard/UI mechanics, not applicant-supplied data.
  • The eight non-tourist e-Visa categories (see Scope decision above).

Path to a verified claim (next step)

To advance to status: verified, a reviewer completes a live walkthrough of indianvisaonline.gov.in/evisa/Registration past the CAPTCHA gate, confirms the exact option lists flagged as gaps above (gender, religion, educational qualification, previous-visa-type, full exit-checkpost list), and records the outcome here — shipping a new schema version if discrepancies are found (VERSIONING.md §3, immutability).

Scope and jurisdiction notes

  • Conditional requiredness/visibility is expressed with requiredWhen (GSP-0013), targeting spec v0.3. fieldRole: eligibility / eligibleValues (GSP-0018) is used for the Ebola 21-day-clearance question and the two mandatory declaration checkboxes, following the same pattern as au/homeaffairs/eta-application-601.
  • Unlike this registry's other Visa-vertical schemas (which model an origin-country's outbound visa application), this is a destination- country e-Visa: India is the destination and the applicant is a foreign national — the same modelling stance as sg/ica/entry-visa-application.
  • India's vertical coverage is now 5/6 (Passport, DMV, National ID & Civic Documents, Taxes, Visa). Business Formation (SPICe+, MCA Form INC-32) remains candidate in discovery/catalog.json for a future cycle, blocked on mca.gov.in's bot-block pending a headless-browser pass.
