What makes India unforgettable.
A snapshot of why travelers from Türkiye keep coming back.
Where to start.
Required documents
The baseline checklist consular officers expect from Turkish applicants. Specific cases (students, business, family reunification) may require additional documents.
- Passport valid at least 6 months beyond entry date with 2 blank pages
- Completed e-Visa application
- Recent digital passport photo (white background)
- Scanned passport bio page
- Return or onward flight reservation
- Proof of accommodation
- Proof of sufficient funds (may be requested)
Apply smarter, not harder.
Apply for the e-Tourist Visa at least 4–7 days before travel.
Enter through a designated e-Visa airport or seaport.
Print the ETA (Electronic Travel Authorisation) approval to show on arrival.
Double-check the spelling of your name and passport number on the application.
For longer or repeat travel, the 1-year or 5-year e-Visa can be more convenient.
Most tourists apply online through India's official e-Visa portal. For longer stays or other purposes, applications are handled by Indian missions and their visa partners.
When to go and what to budget.
October–March offers the most comfortable weather across much of the country; avoid the peak summer heat and monsoon.
Very affordable — roughly $40–100 per day per person.
Why applications get refused.
The most common reasons Turkish applicants are refused for India. Address each one proactively in your file.
Study, work, and business notes.
Studying requires a student visa arranged with the institution, not an e-Tourist Visa.
Employment needs an employment visa; tourist visas do not permit paid work.
Business activities require an e-Business Visa rather than the tourist category.
