Indicator Summary

The total number of electronic visas granted by the Indian government to foreign nationals for travel, business, medical care, and conferences is known as the “total E-VISA Granted by India.” The e-Visa system, which was introduced to streamline the visa application procedure, enables applicants to apply online, acquire digital approval, and pick up their visa when they arrive at specific seaports and airports. The overall figure shows the extent of foreign interest in visiting, investing, or receiving medical care in India, in addition to the effectiveness of the country’s immigration system. This measure is important because it shows how accessible and appealing India is as a travel destination on a global scale. An increase in the number of e-Visas issued indicates growth in international trade, medical tourism, tourism, and cultural interchange, all of which support economic expansion and foreign exchange profits. The success of India’s policy of fostering “Ease of Travel” through programs like Atithi Devo Bhava and Digital India is also highlighted. Policymakers can better plan infrastructure and promote tourism by identifying important source countries and trends through the tracking of e-Visa approvals. It improves India’s reputation as a contemporary, hospitable, and open country abroad, fostering diplomatic relations and enhancing its soft power.
