Tourist / Entry Visa to India (Long-Stay)

Planning an extended stay in India to visit family, attend a wedding, or spend quality time reconnecting with your roots? At Document and Travel Help, we make applying for a Long-Stay Tourist or Entry Visa to India simple, transparent, and stress-free — right from Australia.

Unlike the short-term eVisa, the Long-Stay Tourist / Entry Visa allows longer durations, multiple entries, and the flexibility to stay connected with loved ones for months at a time. Whether you’re visiting parents, supporting relatives, or staying for cultural and personal reasons, we’ll help you complete your visa process correctly the first time.

What is a Long-Stay Tourist or Entry Visa?

The Long-Stay Tourist Visa or Entry Visa is designed for individuals of Indian origin, their family members, and others who wish to visit India for extended periods.It is ideal for:

• Parents or family members of Indian citizens or OCI holders staying in India for longer visits.
• Spouses or dependents of Indian citizens or OCI cardholders.
• Individuals visiting for medical support, caregiving, or family functions.
• Travellers wanting frequent or extended visits beyond the standard eVisa limit.

The visa is generally issued for up to 6 months, 1 year, or 5 years, with multiple entry permissions depending on the applicant’s background and travel purpose.
