Public Advisory regarding fake visa websites

It has been brought to our notice that a number of fake visa websites are operating on the internet claiming to provide e-tourist visa services to visa applicants desiring to travel to India. In the recent months there has been an increasing number of complaints relating to frauds operated by these websites. In order to mislead applicants, some of these websites have created images and homepage templates mimicking the Government of India websites for e-tourist visa applicants. A few prominent ones of these are

1) e-touristvisaindia.com

2) indianvisaonline.org.in

3) e-visaindia.com

It is once again reiterated that the correct website is indianvisaonline.gov.in

All members of the public are advised not to deal with the other websites that do not belong to the Government of India. They should not be relied on for e-tourist visa services.
