Watch out for
Do not pay any agent or intermediary for express or emergency visas, eVisas or the eArrival card - the Government of India does not authorise such charges. [1]
The eArrival card is arrival information only and does not replace a visa; you still need a valid visa or eVisa to enter. [5]
Visa on arrival is not open to Latvian passport holders, so arriving without an eVisa or visa risks being denied entry. [2]
