An E-visa is a type of official online document that allows a traveller to enter the host country without any issues. E-visas<\/a><\/u> are linked with the passport of the individual. You can apply for an E-visa through the online method and fill out the form in less than 10 minutes. Once the payment is made and the form is approved you will receive your E-visa in your Email. The E-visa is the most hassle-free method to procure your Visa as you don’t have to visit the embassy for your visa. In India 25 International airports and 5 seaports accept the arrival of a visitor with an E-visa and the visitor can exit India through any authorized Immigration Check post in India.<\/a><\/u><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

These are some of the differences between E-visa and other types of visas<\/a><\/u>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

E-visa V\/s ETA<\/strong><\/p>\n

E-visa is a visa that can be acquired easily by applying through online portals and gives an individual permission to go to the host country and travel there for a limited period. Whereas ETA or Electronic Travel Authorization<\/a><\/u> is not a visa but a type of authorization required before travelling which can be provided to the countries with Visa waiver program (VWP) agreements.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

E-visa V\/s Visa on Arrival<\/strong><\/p>\n

E-visa is processed before travelling through online mediums and is linked to the passport of an individual. Whereas Visa on Arrival <\/a><\/u>can be applied only when they land in their destination country after travelling. Obtaining a Visa on Arrival is very hectic as they may have to stand in a long queue and sometimes they may even get their access denied due to lack of documents or due to their nationality (India Visa<\/a>).<\/p>\n

E-visa V\/s Paper visa<\/strong><\/p>\n

E-visa can be applied for through online portals and can be received at the registered E-mail address within a few days. Whereas a Paper visa<\/a><\/u> is a tiring bureaucratic process that takes a long time and you may even have to come for a visa interview.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
