Citizens of 166 countries, including France, Belgium or Switzerland are eligible for the e-Visa. It is issued by the authorities for international travellers who intend to visit India for tourism, leisure, business, yoga, medical, occasional visit to meet friends or relatives, etc.
However, if the applicant, their spouse, parents or grandparents were born in Pakistan (or in an area that would now be identified as Pakistan) or if they are Pakistani nationals, they are not eligible for an eTV for India and must apply for a traditional visa.
