Watch out for
Visa on arrival is offered only to nationals of Japan, South Korea and the UAE, so Israeli passport holders need an eVisa approved before travelling. [2]

Agents or intermediaries charging for emergency, express visa, eVisa or eArrival Card services are not authorised by the Government of India. [1]
