Free India Visa Checker Tool 2026

Planning a trip to India?

Before you book flights, it helps to know exactly what your India visa will cost and how long it will take to arrive. Our free India visa fee checker gives you an instant answer based on your nationality and the visa type you need.

India's e-Visa fees changed significantly in 2026 under a new reciprocal pricing system, so a figure you read last year, or a generic guide that does not account for your specific nationality, may no longer be accurate.

This tool covers the most common visa types, the 30 day e-Tourist visa, the 1 year e-Tourist visa, the 5 year e-Tourist visa, the e-Business visa, and the e-Medical visa, for travellers from the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, France, Poland, Japan and Singapore. Enter your nationality and visa type below to see the current government fee, the expected processing time and how long your visa stays valid.

How to Use It

1. Choose the visa type you need

2. Select your passport nationality

3. Get your instant fee breakdown, processing time and validity period, along with a note if your nationality pays a different reciprocal rate

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this India visa fee checker free to use?
Yes. No sign up and no email needed. Select your visa type and nationality to see an instant estimate.

Why does the fee change depending on my nationality?
India introduced a reciprocal pricing system in 2026, meaning some nationalities pay a different fee based on what their own country charges Indian citizens for a similar visa. UK citizens, for example, pay a notably higher fee for the 5 year e-Tourist visa than most other nationalities.

Is this the exact fee I will pay?
This tool shows the standard published government fee plus an approximate bank processing surcharge. It is an estimate, not a live quote. Visa fees are set by the Government of India and can change without notice, so always confirm your exact fee on the official e-Visa portal before paying.

How long does an India e-Visa take to process?
Most e-Visa categories are processed within 3 to 5 working days. The e-Medical visa is typically faster, usually 2 to 4 working days.

Can I use this tool if I am not from the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, France, Poland, Japan or Singapore?
Yes. Select Other from the nationality list to see the standard fee. Reciprocal rates for nationalities outside our main list are not covered, so confirm your exact fee on the official portal.

What if my visa application is rejected?
Visa fees are non refundable, whether your application is approved or rejected. It is worth double checking your documents and details carefully before submitting.

Does this tool help me apply for the visa?
No, this tool only estimates your fee and processing time. For guidance on the full application process, see our complete visa guidance page linked from the results screen.
