India e-Visa for Jamaican Citizens
Overview
India appeals to Jamaican travelers for many reasons: family and friends, work engagements, or care at a hospital. The e-Visa category depends on that reason, not on the passport alone, so the useful first step is naming the trip honestly.
Below you will find the three purposes, the prices published on this website, how the two service speeds compare, and a readiness checklist. It is a planning aid and does not confirm eligibility or promise approval.
Three purposes, three strips
Find the strip that describes your trip, then follow its link.

Short courses and short-term volunteering add a letter from the course provider or the voluntary organization.
- BusinessBusiness e-Visa page
You are going to work meetings, trade fairs, conferences, seminars or workshops.

You are going for a consultation, treatment or follow-up care.
A letter from the hospital or treatment institution with a tentative admission date. Accompanying a patient may need a different visa category.

Jamaican Passport Holder FAQs
My trip mixes family time and a work call. Which category?
Decide which purpose drives the journey and check current guidance carefully instead of guessing. The visa options page puts the three categories side by side.
Is the price different with a Jamaican passport?
No Jamaica-specific price is published on this website. The standard website service prices apply.
What separates Express from Regular?
Speed and price. Express is estimated at 2–3 working days and Regular at 4–5, with Express costing more on every option. Neither figure is guaranteed.
Which documents are on every list?
A scan of the passport bio-data page and a recent color photograph. Further letters depend on purpose. The requirements guide is general rather than exhaustive, and conditions can change.
What should Jamaican passport holders have ready before applying for an India eVisa?
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.
