Flight itinerary for India eVisa — submitted and sorted in minutes.
India's e-Tourist Visa at indianvisaonline.gov.in requires a return or onward flight itinerary as supporting documentation. Flightinary delivers one built on real GDS aviation data — formatted for the Indian immigration standard, delivered in 15 minutes.
What you need to know
What is a flight itinerary — and why does India's eVisa portal ask for one before you've booked real flights?
India's eVisa form at indianvisaonline.gov.in asks for your return or onward flight details partway through the application — before you're approved, and before it makes sense to have bought real tickets. The system is designed for you to have travel plans ready at submission time. With eVisa processing running 72 hours at standard (and up to 4–5 days during peak October–March season), buying real return flights before approval carries real financial exposure. A Flightinary itinerary gives the portal exactly what it needs — real GDS flight numbers, correct IATA routing — delivered in minutes, with zero purchase risk.
What a flight itinerary is
A flight itinerary is a professionally formatted travel document generated from real-time GDS aviation data — real flight numbers, real IATA airport codes, accurate airline names, departure and arrival times, and correct routing. It documents your planned travel for visa application purposes. It is not a paid booking, so there is no financial risk if your travel dates shift or your visa application takes a different turn.
Why not just buy a real ticket?
India's e-Tourist Visa is usually approved within 72 hours — sometimes 24. But 'usually' is not 'always,' and peak periods can extend processing. Buying a real return ticket before visa approval means you may pay airline change fees if your dates shift, or lose your booking entirely if your visa is refused. On the 1-year and 5-year eVisa, pinning down a specific return date months in advance makes no sense. A flight itinerary keeps your options open.
Does Flightinary's itinerary work for India eVisa submissions?
Yes. Every Flightinary itinerary is generated from live aviation data with genuine flight numbers, correct airline codes, and proper IATA routing. It is formatted to meet the documentation standard expected by the Indian eVisa portal and by immigration officers at designated Indian international airports including Delhi (DEL), Mumbai (BOM), Bangalore (BLR), Chennai (MAA), Hyderabad (HYD), Kolkata (CCU), and Kochi (COK), among others.

Full document checklist
Everything you need for an India eVisa application
India's eVisa application is mostly digital — you upload documents rather than attending an appointment. But the checklist is more detailed than many applicants expect. Go through every item before you submit, because incomplete applications are rejected and refunds of the visa fee are not guaranteed.

Minimum 6 months validity from date of arrival in India; at least 2 blank pages required
- Scanned last page of passport
The page opposite the photo page showing spouse/guardian details — required upload on eVisa form

How your nationality affects your India eVisa application
India's e-Tourist Visa is available to over 160 nationalities — with very low overall refusal rates. Nationals of Pakistan and Bangladesh are not eligible and must apply through the Indian High Commission. For all other nationalities, the eVisa is the standard route, and the process is largely straightforward.
| Passport | Refusal rate | Interview req. | Min. bank balance | Avg. processing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 🇺🇸United States | ~2% | Not required | $2,000 | 24–72 hrs |
| 🇬🇧United Kingdom | ~2% | Not required | $1,500 | 24–72 hrs |
| 🇦🇺Australia | ~2% | Not required | $1,500 | 24–72 hrs |
| 🇨🇦Canada | ~2% | Not required | $1,500 | 24–72 hrs |
| 🇩🇪Germany | ~2% | Not required | $1,500 | 24–72 hrs |
| 🇨🇳China | ~4% | Not required | $1,500 | 48–72 hrs |
| 🇷🇺Russia | ~3% | Not required | $1,500 | 48–72 hrs |
| 🇿🇦South Africa | ~5% | Not required | $1,500 | 48–72 hrs |
🟢 Low refusal rate (under 5%) — USA (~2%), UK (~2%), Australia (~2%)
India's eVisa refusal rates are very low for eligible nationalities. Focus on a clean, complete application: correct passport scan, white-background photo, matching accommodation details, and your flight itinerary ready before you open the form. The most common cause of rejection is inconsistent or missing upload quality — not financial scrutiny.
⚠️ Not eligible for eVisa — Pakistan must use Indian High Commission
Pakistan nationals cannot apply for the India eVisa and must apply at the Indian High Commission in their country. Bangladesh nationals ARE eligible for the India eVisa. For Pakistan applicants, the High Commission process requires a thorough paper application — employment confirmation, bank statements, flight itinerary, hotel bookings, and strong home-country ties evidence. Apply 4–6 weeks before travel and include every document on the checklist.

Stay rules — explained
How long can you stay in India?
India's eVisa comes in three tiers with very different stay structures. The 30-day eVisa is double entry with a firm 30-day cap per visit. The 1-year and 5-year eVisa are multiple entry with a maximum of 180 days per visit and no per-trip minimum. Choosing the right tier before you apply is important — you cannot upgrade after approval.
Days — 30-day eVisa
Maximum stay per visit on the 30-day e-Tourist Visa. Double entry — you may enter twice, each time for up to 30 days. Previous 60-day re-entry gap largely abolished.
Days — 1-year & 5-year
Maximum stay per visit on the multiple-entry 1-year or 5-year e-Tourist Visa. No minimum gap between visits — but each individual stay must not exceed 180 days.
Designated eVisa airports
India's eVisa is only valid at 33 designated international airports — not at land borders. Check your entry airport is on the approved list before you travel.
