Indicator Summary

Overview

The number of countries whose residents are qualified to apply for an electronic visa (e-Visa) in order to go to India for conferences, business, tourism, or medical treatment is known as the “Number of E-VISA Countries for India.” The Government of India developed the e-Visa option, which greatly streamlines the admission process by enabling foreign nationals to apply online, receive approval electronically, and obtain their visa upon arrival. The number of nations included in this program shows how much India’s visa liberalisation policy has spread and how it is working to make travel easier for tourists from other countries. In order to encourage travel, commerce, investment, and interpersonal interactions, this indication is extremely important. India’s goal to increase its worldwide connections and establish itself as a friendly travel destination is reflected in the greater number of nations that are eligible for e-Visas. It lowers expenses and bureaucratic obstacles for tourists, increasing India’s appeal. For policymakers, the country’s objectives under “Ease of Doing Business” and tourism-driven economic growth are enhanced by the expansion of the e-Visa network. By encouraging cultural and economic exchanges with partner countries, it also fortifies diplomatic connections. All things considered, the number of nations that grant e-Visas is a crucial indicator of India’s openness, integration into the world, and projection of soft power.
