India Visa · Quick Answer

Can I Apply for an India Visa for Someone Else Online?

Yes. You can submit an e-Visa application on behalf of another person, but every detail must be theirs (name, passport, photo) and the fee is paid on the official portal. Verify all details with the traveller before submitting — a mistake restarts the clock and the fee is non-refundable.

Frequently asked questions

Can a travel agent apply for my India e-Visa?

Yes, but verify every detail they enter; errors cause rejections that restart processing.

Do I need a power of attorney to apply for someone else?

No — you just need their accurate passport and photo details, and you pay the fee on the official portal.
