Watch out for
Visa on arrival is available only to nationals of Japan, South Korea and certain UAE nationals, so East Timorese travellers must obtain an eVisa before travelling. [2]
Do not pay agents or intermediaries for emergency or express visas, eVisas or the eArrival card; the Government of India does not authorise them to charge such fees. [1] [2]
The e-Arrival Card is arrival information only and does not replace a visa. [5]
