India e-Visa for New Zealand Citizens

A good India plan starts with a short question: what is this trip for? The answer points to one of three e-Visa categories, and from there the price, the timing and the papers fall into place. This page walks through them for New Zealand passport holders, including the one price that is set specifically for New Zealand.

Questions from New Zealand Travelers

What makes the Business e-Visa price different for New Zealand?

The website lists a price set for New Zealand on the Business e-Visa for 1 year, and this page tags that option. No reason for the difference is given. The other four options follow the standard list, and the fees page shows the same figures.

Which category should I read first if my trip mixes purposes?

Start with the purpose that is the main reason for going. For the remainder, check current guidance carefully instead of guessing; the visa options page places the three categories together.

Is Express worth it for a trip I booked far ahead?

Probably not, since Regular is estimated at 4–5 working days and Express at 2–3. Express is priced higher on every option, and neither estimate is a guarantee, so the choice depends on how close your dates are.

What is the least I should have scanned before I start?

The passport bio-data page and a recent color photograph. Some purposes add a letter, which the requirements guide describes. The guide is general rather than exhaustive, and conditions can change.

What should New Zealand 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.
