According to the announcement from the Official Indian Visa Portal, Afghan citizens can now apply for the following six types of visas:

  • Business Visa – For business purposes

  • Student Visa – For studying in India

Important notes when applying for an e-Visa:

  • The required documents include: a passport-size photo with a white background, a copy of the passport page, and a National Identity Card (Tazkira).
