The official portal, the photo sizes and what you answer yourself.

About 20 minutes · pictures checked October 2026

The pictures with the form and the Submit button use a test portal and a fictional specimen passport. The official site looks different, but the steps are the same.

1. 1

   Open the right website

   indianvisaonline.gov.in. Nothing else is authorised.

   Tip: Type it or use the button on your Faylo page.

   Check any address against the official ones →
   
2. 2

   Have these ready

   Passport, a face photo, a passport page scan, email and a card.

   Get your photo and passport scan the right size →
   
3. 3

   Your details fill in

   Name, passport and trip details appear on each page.

   
4. 4

   The personal questions are yours

   Yes/no questions and 'I certify' boxes stay empty and highlighted.

   Tip: Answer them yourself, truthfully.

   
5. 5

   Know the fee and the wait

   The fee is shown before you pay. It depends on nationality and length.

   Tip: Wrong photo or scan size is the most common reason for rejection.

   
6. 6

   You pay and press Submit

   We never do. Keep the confirmation.

   Tip: This route is invite-only while we confirm the portal's rules.
