The India Business eVisa (e-Business Visa) is an electronic visa specifically designed for US citizens and professionals traveling to India for business activities. It enables you to attend meetings, participate in trade exhibitions, conduct technical workshops, sign business agreements, explore investment opportunities, and more.
As one of the world's fastest-growing economies, India presents enormous opportunities for US businesses. With the Business eVisa, US professionals can now engage with Indian partners, clients, and markets without the delays of traditional visa processing. The entire application is completed online — no embassy appointment required.
The Business eVisa is available in 1-Year and 5-Year validity options, both with multiple entry and a generous 180-day stay per visit — giving you the flexibility to operate freely across multiple India trips.
