Which airports, seaports and land border checkpoints can I use for my first entry to India on an e-Visa?

If you check in online and travel without checked baggage, your Indian e-Visa may be checked at the gate rather than at a check-in desk. Confirm in advance that your first arrival point is on the official ETA entry list.

For a first entry on an Indian e-Visa, do not rely solely on the assumption that arrival must be by air. Use the current approved-entry list, which includes airports, selected seaports and several land checkpoints.

Check the official Indian e-Visa website before booking transport: it publishes the airports, seaports and land crossings permitted for a first entry with an ETA.
