There are over 3,000,000 people in India who want to get a tourist visa for a 5 year visit. Having received my 5 year tourist visa and lived in Dubai last year, I can say it is possible. However, there are some conditions which you must meet before applying, and the process can take up to 6 months depending on your nationality. Let me tell you how it all went down (and still is).

Can I Get A 5 Year Tourist Visa For India

It is possible to extend your 1 month visit visa in Dubai and it is not a difficult process. If you have been in Dubai long enough and are looking for ways to remain there for a long time without having to renew your tourist visa, then you might want to seek advice from visa consultants or hire a lawyer who can best guide you on what steps you should take so as to secure yourself a 5 year tourist visa for India.

Getting your visa for a long-term stay in India isn’t as difficult as it used to be. A person of any nationality can get a long term Visa easily. You don’t have to look bigger or better than someone or pay bribe, or anything similar like that. The rule is simpler now, anyone who is going to work should have an employment visa, the rest can get their tourist visa extended Single entry and get a 5 year multiple entry tourist visa to India.

5 Year e-Tourist Visa

Foreign nationals keen to visit India for sightseeing or recreation, casual visits to meet friends and family or short term Yoga programme are eligible to apply for a 5 year India e-Tourist Visa.

So with effect from September 2019, a long-term 5 year Indian Tourist Visa (India e-Visa) is now available to foreign tourists who desire to visit India multiple times in a span of 5 years.

An e-Tourist Visa is now available in following categories:

e-Tourist Visa 30 days: Double entry visa valid for 30 days from date of entry in India.

e-Tourist Visa for 1 Year (or 365 days): Multiple entry visa valid for 365 days from date of grant of e-Visa.

e-Tourist Visa for 5 Years (or 60 months): Multiple entry visa valid for valid for 5 years from date of grant of e-Visa.

All visas mentioned above are non-extendable and non-convertible. If you have applied and paid for a 1 year Tourist Visa, then you cannot convert or upgrade that to a 5 year Visa.
