Can you be denied entry to India because of an e-visa mistake, a previous overstay, or re-entering soon on a still-valid visa?

In October 2026 a traveler asked whether they could re-enter India before their visa expired and whether anything had to be arranged. A participant replied that re-entry is possible if the visa is not single-entry, and pointed out that the number of entries is marked with a circle on the visa — that mark is what to check. This is advice from a fellow traveler, so it is worth double-checking the conditions of your own visa against the official rules or with a consulate.

In August 2026 a traveler asked whether she could enter India on a visa issued to her old passport while buying tickets and flying on her new one, taking the old passport along. Another participant in the same situation wrote that a lawyer she knows in India confirmed you can enter with both passports and the original visa. This is a retelling of a private consultation, not an official rule, so confirm it with a consulate or the airline before travelling.
