Currently, citizens only of three countries, i.e., South Korea, the United Arab Emirates, and Japan, can obtain a visa upon their arrival in India. Nationals of other countries need to get a visa to India approved in advance. Chinese travelers are lucky enough! They can arrange the Indian visa online as Chinese citizens are eligible for India e-visa.

The electronic visa system was introduced by the Indian government in 2014. Since then, eligible countries can apply for business, tourist, or medical e-Visa to India simply by submitting an online application.

The tourist e-Visa allows its holder to enter India once and stay up to 1 month, while the remaining two - medical and business electronic visas - allow multiple entries to the country with the maximum stay from 60 to 180 days (depending on the visa type). All e-Visa types to India require covering the service fee of 129 Euro. 

There are only a few visa requirements that travelers from China must meet to visit India. One of the most important conditions is to be a holder of a valid Chinese passport. Apart from the passport, an applicant needs to have a working electronic device and a stable Internet connection. 

Filling out the online application form will not take more than 15 minutes, while the approved e-Visa will be delivered to the applicant's email inbox within maximally 3 business days!
