Watch out for
India does not authorise any agent or intermediary to charge fees for emergency, express, e-Visa or eArrival card services, so treat such offers as unauthorised. [1] [2]
The eArrival card is arrival information only and is not a visa, so it does not replace your e-Visa. [5]
Visa on arrival is limited to nationals of Japan, South Korea and certain UAE nationals at selected airports, so Cypriot travellers must obtain an e-Visa or regular visa before travelling. [2]
