How to Get an Indian Visa for Your Family

Family groups need individual visa applications for each member, including children. Apply online through the official Indian e-Visa portal 4-120 days before travel. Tourist e-Visas cost $10-80 per person depending on nationality and allow 30-90 day stays with double entry.

Determine which family members need visas. All family members need individual visas regardless of age, including infants. US, UK, Canadian, and most European citizens can use e-Visa. Check if your nationality is eligible on the official indianvisaonline.gov.in website.
Gather documents for each family member. Each person needs: passport valid for 6+ months with 2 blank pages, recent passport photo (white background), birth certificates for children under 18, and marriage certificate if spouse is applying. Parents traveling with children need consent letter if one parent is not traveling.
Complete separate applications online. Fill out individual e-Visa applications at indianvisaonline.gov.in for each family member. Enter identical travel dates and accommodation details. Upload required documents as JPG files under 1MB each.
Pay visa fees. Pay separately for each application using credit/debit card. Fees range $10-80 per person depending on nationality. US citizens pay $80, UK citizens pay $25, most others pay $10-25.
Track applications and receive e-Visas. Processing takes 3-5 business days typically. Check status using application ID and passport number. Print e-Visa approval for each family member - you must present these at Indian immigration along with passports.
