Watch out for
The Government of India does not authorise any agent or intermediary to charge fees for emergency or express visas, eVisas or the eArrival card, so pay only through the official government portals. [1] [2]
Visa on arrival is available only to nationals of Japan, South Korea and certain UAE nationals at selected airports, so Croatian passport holders must obtain an e-Visa before travelling. [2]
