Yes, Israeli citizens can apply for an electronic visa (e-visa) to visit India for tourism purposes. Here’s a quick rundown of what you need to know:
- E-visa eligibility: Israelis are among the nationalities eligible for the Indian e-visa program.
- Types of e-tourist visas: There are options for visas with varying validity periods, allowing stays of 30 days, 90 days, or 180 days depending on your needs.
- Applying for the e-visa: The application process is entirely online. You’ll need a valid passport with at least 6 months validity remaining, a scan of the passport’s bio page, and details about your stay in India (like accommodation). Processing times are generally around 4 days.
- Validity and permitted stay: Once approved, the e-visa will be sent to your email. The visa itself will have a longer validity period (e.g., 1 year), but the permitted stay in India is limited to 30, 90, or 180 days depending on the visa type.
For further details and the official application process, it’s recommended to visit the Indian Embassy in Tel Aviv’s website or a trusted visa service provider.
