WASHINGTON, DC—Indian embassy has issued an important advisory on fake Indian visa websites and advised that the correct website is indianvisaonline.gov.in. Applicants are requested not to rely on any other website for e-Tourist visa services.

“It has been brought to our notice that a number of fake visa websites are operating on the internet , claiming to provide e-Tourist visas services to visa applicants,” Indian Embassy said in advisory posted on its website.

In order to mislead applicants, some of these websites have created images and home page templates mimicking the GoI websites for e-Tourist visa applicants, the advisory said.

A few such prominent websites are listed below:

1.e-touristvisaindia.com

2.indianvisaonline.org.in

3. e-visaindia.com

4. indiavisa.org.in

“It is advised that the correct website is indianvisaonline.gov.in. Applicants are requested not to rely on any other website for e-Tourist visa services,” the advisory said.

For regular visa applications (other than e-Tourist visa), applicants in USA may visit the website www.ckgs.us for obtaining information and submitting an application.
