The <strong>e-Visa (ETA) entry window<\/strong> has been extended to <strong>120 days<\/strong>, meaning you can apply earlier and still be covered for your planned arrival date.

You don\u2019t have to keep it for the final weeks, which is when you\u2019re already busy juggling bookings, work deadlines, and all the tiny details a trip to India tends to involve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A couple of important reminders, though. <strong>This update is not retroactive<\/strong>, so an ETA issued under the previous rule keeps the older entry window. Also, the change is about <strong>when you can enter<\/strong>, not automatically about how long you can stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve ever mixed those two up, you\u2019re not alone.

A longer entry window makes the process less delicate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if you simply want fewer last-minute tasks, let\u2019s be honest: most people don\u2019t love doing <strong>visa paperwork<\/strong> two weeks before departure.
