Watch out for
Be wary of third parties: the Government of India does not authorise agents or intermediaries to charge fees for eVisas or the eArrival card, so apply and pay only on the official portals. [1] [2]
A visa or eVisa must be obtained in advance, as Saint Lucian travellers are not covered by the visa-on-arrival scheme or by visa-free bilateral arrangements noted in the material. [1] [2]
