How to apply

Applications are submitted on the official portal indianvisaonline.gov.in. Fill in the form with the exact details of your Mexican passport, upload the requested documents, then pay the fee online. Note the application ID you are given: it is used to track the file and check the outcome. Once the e-Visa is granted, print the confirmation and carry it during the trip.

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

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 Mexico on another passport?

The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Mexico 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 observed processing time is 72-96 hours. Apply early enough before your flight from Mexico to keep a margin in case a correction is requested. Review every field before submitting: a mismatch with your passport can delay the file. Check on the official portal the length of stay granted by your e-Visa and respect it.

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

Many unofficial websites copy the Indian form and charge fees well above the official rate: only indianvisaonline.gov.in is operated by the Government of India. A non-compliant photo is another frequent cause of delay. Finally, do not fly to India until the e-Visa has been granted.
