Watch out for
Visa on arrival is not available to Cuban passport holders; it is limited to nationals of Japan, South Korea and certain UAE nationals at selected airports, so arrange the eVisa before flying. [2]
Do not pay any agent or intermediary for emergency, express or eVisa services or the eArrival Card, as the Indian government does not authorise such charges. [1] [2]
