  "description": "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.",

Several dropdown option lists could not be confirmed in full because reaching them requires solving a live CAPTCHA beyond this pass: gender, religion, educational qualification, previous-visa-type, and expectedPortOfExit's full checkpost list are modeled conservatively (free text, or a small registry-convention enum) rather than guessed — see VERIFICATION.md for the complete list of open gaps. Status remains 'draft' pending a full live CAPTCHA-cleared walkthrough."
