Do I need a visa for India from Belgium?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Yes. Belgian nationals must obtain an e-Visa for India, applied for online before departure.
Belgian travellers require a visa to enter India and can request an e-Visa (e-Tourist Visa) through the official portal indianvisaonline.gov.in. The application is made online, from Belgium, before boarding. The passport must be valid for at least six months and contain blank pages.
Do you need a visa?
Yes, a visa is required for Belgian travellers: the tourist e-Visa covers leisure stays and must be applied for before arrival. Entry is made through the designated airports and seaports of the e-Visa scheme. Check the validity and number of entries on the official portal.
How and where to apply
Go to the official site indianvisaonline.gov.in, create your application and complete the online form from Belgium. You upload a photo and the passport page, then pay by card. Beware of the many look-alike sites: only the government domain indianvisaonline.gov.in is official.
Documents and fees
Prepare a passport valid for at least six months with blank pages, a photo in the required format, a scan of the bio page, your itinerary and proof of accommodation. The exact fee should be verified on the official portal at the time of application. The details must match the passport exactly.
Processing and tips
Submit the application several days before departure to absorb any processing delay. Print the e-Visa authorisation (ETA) received by email and present it at boarding and on arrival. Check the entry point you select, as it must be among those accepted for the e-Visa.
Common mistakes
Never use an unofficial middleman site: they overcharge and put your data at risk. Do not enter an entry point that is not authorised for the e-Visa. Finally, a passport valid for under six months or without a blank page is a frequent cause of refusal.
