Watch out for
Visa on Arrival is available only to nationals of Japan, South Korea and certain UAE nationals, so Salvadoran travellers must arrange an e-Visa before flying. [2]
Be wary of agents or intermediaries offering emergency or express visa services; the Government of India does not authorise them to charge fees. [1] [2]
The eArrival Card must be submitted within 72 hours before arrival, so do not leave it until you land. [5]
