Whatever brings you to India, the planning follows the same order: settle the purpose, note the matching price, allow for the timing estimate, then gather the papers. The sections below keep that order and keep the figures close to the text.
For planning only. Nothing here confirms eligibility or guarantees an outcome.
Your reason for traveling decides the category. Find the card that fits.
Taking a break in India, seeing the sights, or spending time with people you know there.
A short course or a short stint of volunteering is a tourist purpose with one extra item: a letter from the course provider or the voluntary organization.
Tourist e-Visa pageWorking visits: meetings, trade fairs, conferences, seminars and workshops.
For plain meetings, an invitation letter is optional where it applies. If you are attending a conference, seminar or workshop, the list asks for the event organizer's invitation.
Business e-Visa pageSeeing a doctor in India: consultations, treatment and follow-up care.
The hospital or treatment institution supplies a letter. If you are only accompanying a patient, a different visa category may be needed.
Medical e-Visa pageEvery ticket lists the Regular and Express service price for one option. Amounts are published website service prices in USD. The website lists nothing separate for Chile, so the standard list is what you see.

Ready to apply?
Decide which part of the trip is the main reason for going and read that category's page. For the rest, check current guidance carefully instead of guessing; the visa options page compares the categories.
No. The standard list applies to Chilean passport holders, and every amount is a website service price.
They are the published estimates: 4–5 working days for Regular and 2–3 for Express. They describe the service, not an outcome, so allow a margin before fixing anything hard to change.
A scan of your passport's bio-data page and a recent color photograph, since every category lists both. The requirements guide then covers what your purpose adds, and it can change over time.
Choose the category and service level that match your trip, then have your passport details, a recent photograph, your travel dates and any supporting documents ready, so you can enter every detail exactly as it appears in your documents.
