India to Chad visa requirements

Indian passport holders need a visa for Chad and should apply for the Chad eVisa online before travel. Visa-on-arrival and visa-free entry are not available for Indian citizens. Since 11 May 2026, the eVisa via the official evisa.td portal is the mandatory channel for tourist and most other visa categories. India ordinary passport holders are not on Chad's visa-exempt list, so a visa is required for tourism. Chad launched an electronic visa system on 11 December 2024, and as of 11 May 2026 all new visa applications (except diplomatic/courtesy categories) must be submitted exclusively online through the official portal evisa.td. The tourist eVisa is typically issued as a single-entry visa valid for 30 days with a maximum stay of 30 days, costs around USD 107, and is processed in roughly 10 business days; applications should be filed at least 7 days before arrival. Travelers must hold a passport valid at least 6 months, show proof of accommodation and onward/return travel, and carry a yellow fever vaccination certificate (mandatory for all travelers aged 9 months and older). Police registration within 72 hours of arrival is also required. Because traditional embassy visas and visa-on-arrival are no longer the accepted route, the eVisa is the correct verdict for a short tourist stay.
