India e-Visa for Swiss Citizens & Residents | What It Covers and How It Works
Swiss citizens applying for an Indian e-Visa can complete the entire process online — no embassy appointment, no physical document submission required for short-term travel. Once approved, the Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) is emailed directly to you by the Government of India.
Three categories cover the full range of travel purposes. The 'India e-Tourist Visa' is available in 30-day, 1-year, and 5-year options, suitable for holidays, cultural travel, yoga retreats, family visits, and long-form exploration across India. The 'India e-Business Visa' is valid for one year with multiple entries, designed for trade visits, meetings, conferences, and commercial activity — including the growing bilateral corridor between Swiss pharmaceutical, financial, and technology companies and their India operations. The 'India e-Medical Visa' allows triple entry over 60 days for those seeking treatment at recognized Indian hospitals or Ayurvedic centers.
Swiss nationals on the 1-year or 5-year e-Tourist Visa may stay up to 90 days per continuous visit, with a total annual cap of 180 days across all visits. The Indian e-Visa is non-extendable, non-convertible, and valid only at designated airports and seaports — not land borders. Not sure which Indian e-Visa category suits your trip from Switzerland?
