India e-Visa for citizens of Gabon: online application, fees and processing time 2026

Yes. A Gabonese passport does not give access to India without a visa: you must obtain an e-Visa, applied for and granted online before the trip. Citizens of Gabon cannot count on a visa on arrival, which is not open to them. The general conditions are presented on the official page, indianvisaonline.gov.in.

The application relies on a valid Gabonese passport, a digital passport-style photo and a scan of the passport’s personal data page. Additional supporting documents may be required depending on the purpose of the trip. The official fee recorded ranges from 25 to 80 USD; see the official portal for the exact amount and the passport validity requirements.

Log in to the official application portal, indianvisaonline.gov.in, and fill in the form carefully. Documents are uploaded in the required format, then the fee is paid online. At the end, the portal assigns an application number: write it down, as it is used to check the status of the file and obtain the granted authorisation.

The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Gabon but travel on another country's passport, the rule on this page is not yours. Filing usually still happens from your country of residence, at the post competent for it, but the requirement itself comes from your passport.

The recorded processing time is 72 to 96 hours. An early application leaves time to react if a document is deemed non-compliant. Avoid non-refundable tickets until the e-Visa is granted, and take a printed copy of the authorisation with you, together with the passport used for the application.

Some websites present themselves as visa services for India and charge a large surcharge: the official application is made only on indianvisaonline.gov.in. Also avoid typing errors in the name or passport number, poor-quality photos and trips organised before the authorisation has been received.
