Watch out for
The Government of India does not authorise any agent or intermediary to charge fees for emergency or express visas, eVisas and the eArrival card, so pay only through the official portals. [1]
Visa on arrival is available only to nationals of Japan, South Korea and certain UAE nationals, so travel on a Spanish passport requires a visa or e-Visa arranged in advance. [2]
