India e-Tourist Visa required: USD 25 for 30 days (USD 10 Apr-Jun), USD 40 for 1 year, or USD 200 for 5 years. Italian ordinary passport holders need a visa to enter India, and Italy is on India's e-Visa eligible country list. Apply only through indianvisaonline.gov.in/evisa; standard tourist trips do not require an embassy visit. Current e-Tourist fees for Italy are USD 10 for a 30-day visa in April-June, USD 25 for a 30-day visa in July-March, USD 40 for a 1-year visa, and USD 200 for a 5-year visa, plus bank charges. The 30-day e-Tourist visa allows double entry and is valid for 30 days from first arrival; 1-year and 5-year e-Tourist visas allow multiple entries and India says total stay during one calendar year must not exceed 180 days. Apply at least 4 days before arrival, wait for the emailed ETA, print it for travel, and complete India's free e-Arrival Card online within 72 hours before arrival.
