Our guide to the India visa from Greece

Yes, Greek nationals need a visa to travel to India: they must obtain an e-Visa, applied for online on the Indian government’s official portal and approved before they leave Greece.

From Greece, the application is filed on indianvisaonline.gov.in, with scanned documents and an official fee recorded at 25 to 80 USD. The recorded processing time is 72 to 96 hours; starting the process as soon as the dates of your stay in India are known avoids a race against time.

Do you need a visa for India?

Yes. A Greek passport does not exempt you from a visa for India. You must obtain an e-Visa, an authorisation granted online before departure after the application has been reviewed; a visa on arrival is not open to nationals of Greece. The general conditions are on the official page, indianvisaonline.gov.in.

How much does an e-visa for India cost from Greece?

25-80 USD

Official government fee only. Providers and visa centres add their own service charge on top.

What does a visa for India really cost?

The published fee is the government charge alone. Two or three other lines are added before the visa is in the passport, and they are what makes the final bill.

Government fee25-80 USD
Paid to the state, non-refundable if the visa is refused.

Never compulsory. An intermediary fills the form for you, it does not change the decision or the processing time.

The official fee recorded ranges from 25 to 80 USD. Check on the portal the amount that applies to your application and the passport validity conditions.

Apply on the official site Official portal

How to apply

Use the official application portal, indianvisaonline.gov.in. After filling in the form, you upload the photo and the copy of the passport’s personal data page, then pay the fee online. The portal provides an application number that lets you track the file and retrieve the authorisation.

Where do you apply for a visa for India from Greece?

An e-visa for India is filed entirely online: there is no counter to visit and no file to hand in. The only address that matters is the official portal.

The application, the supporting documents and the payment all go through the official portal, from any country.
Lookalike sites copy the portal’s name and layout, then resell the same application with a margin. Check the domain before you type in a passport number.
The authorisation arrives by email. Keep a printed copy, some airlines ask for it at boarding.

Using an online service

You never have to use an intermediary. If you would rather have a service fill in and file the application online for you before departure, iVisa does it for a service fee, charged on top of the official fees. It does not change the decision.

You live in Greece on another passport?

The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Greece 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.

How long does an e-visa for India take?

72-96 hours

Indicative time, counted from a complete file. Peak season can be longer.

Processing time and tips

The recorded processing time is 72 to 96 hours. An early application leaves time to correct an error or a rejected file; wait for approval before committing to non-refundable costs. Then keep a printed copy of the e-Visa with the declared passport for boarding and immigration control in India.

Before you fly, and at the border

Passport validity: most countries require the passport to stay valid beyond the return date, and the margin required differs from one destination to the next. Check it on the official source, and count from your return, not from your departure.
A visa is not a right of entry. The border officer decides, and may ask for a return ticket, an address or proof of funds even when everything is in order.
Conditional exemptions exist: several countries waive the visa for holders of a valid visa or residence permit from a third country. This depends on the destination and on the document, and we do not publish that rule when our sources do not carry it. The official page does.
Minors travelling alone or with one parent are often asked for extra papers, typically a parental authorisation and the family record. Ask the post before booking.
Overstaying is not a formality. It exposes you to a fine, to removal, and to an entry ban that can outlast the trip by years, including for the whole area when the destination belongs to one.

Common mistakes

Private websites mimic the look of an official service and charge well above the recorded fee for the application: only the indianvisaonline.gov.in address should be used. Other frequent mistakes are a non-compliant photo, information that differs from the passport and a passport changed between the application and the trip.
