Watch out for
Be wary of agents charging for emergency, express or eVisa services, as the Government of India authorises no intermediary to collect such fees. [1] [2]
Visa on arrival is limited to nationals of Japan, South Korea and certain UAE nationals, so it is not an option for Kazakhstani passport holders. [2]
