Pratibha Sharma walks through five mistakes that get Indian e-visa applications rejected: wrong passport details, an expired or low-validity passport, poor-quality photos, falling for scams, and applying too close to your travel date. Use the official India e-visa portal, not third-party sites.
Imagine reaching the airport and finding out that your Indian trip is cancelled because of one small e-visa mistake. Before you apply for an Indian e-visa in 2026, watch this reel to avoid any mistakes that are costing people their entire trip. The biggest reason for rejection is wrong passport details, because even a spelling mistake in your name, passport number, or date of birth can lead to direct rejection. Expired or low validity passports. Make sure your passport meets India's validity requirements before applying. Poor quality photos or passport scans. Scams. Blurry images, shadows, wrong file formats can cause delays or even rejection. Applying at the last minute. Many travelers wait until a few days before departure, and that's risky. Incorrect travel details. Hotel information or email address must be correct. If the immigration cannot verify your information, your application will never be approved. And one more thing, never apply through fake websites or third-party websites for that matter. Always use the official India e-visa portal. See, a simple mistake can ruin months of travel planning.
