Correct path

E-visa or embassy visa?

Most Swedes choose an e-visa for India. It is simpler, cheaper and valid for tourism, business and medical purposes. An embassy visa is needed for studies, work or longer stays. E-visas cannot be extended or converted in India.

Overview

How it works for India

Swedish citizens always need a visa to travel to India. The e-visa is the most common choice for tourism and shorter business trips. It comes in three validities: 30 days, 1 year or 5 years, all with multiple entries but limited stay per entry. For studies, work or longer stays an embassy visa is required. Indian authorities are strict about photo format (50 × 50 mm, white background) and passport validity (at least 6 months). VIZA reviews everything before submission to minimise the risk of refusal.

When needed

When do Swedes need a visa for India?

A visa is always required for Swedish citizens. These are the situations we see most:

You have a business meeting, fair or client visit in Delhi, Mumbai or Bengaluru
You will study at an Indian university or yoga training

Translation, timing and embassy

Is Hindi or English translation needed?

For the visa application, translation of Swedish documents is normally not required. The application form is filled in English. The invitation or admission letter should be in English. If you have Swedish documents to be used in India after entry (e.g. for work or studies), authorized translation may be needed separately.

Timeline for an India visa

E-visas are usually processed within 3 to 5 business days. Embassy visas take 7 to 14 business days. Indian authorities always determine the final processing time. The total is affected by:

whether the photo has exactly the right format (50 × 50 mm, white background)
whether the passport is valid at least 6 months
whether the application is complete without errors
peak season and queue at Indian authorities
whether the application is supplemented
post for embassy visa
