🌐Why Seychellois passport holders need a visa for India

Seychellois citizens are eligible to apply for an eVisa to enter India. This pre-travel online application is a streamlined alternative to a consular visa — Seychellois passport holders can complete the process from home without visiting an embassy. Approval is typically granted within a few business days.

⚠️Common Reasons India e-Business Visa Applications Are Refused6

• !
  Document or photograph scan failures — glare, a blurred MRZ, cropped pages or a non-compliant photo — failing the e-Visa system’s automated checks.
• !
  Data mismatch with the passport — any discrepancy in name order, passport number or date of birth is rejected by exact-match validation; using initials instead of the full name.
• !
  An ineligible document — a non-ordinary passport, or a passport with under six months’ validity or no blank pages.
• !
  Purpose mismatch — using the e-Business visa to take up paid employment in India (which requires an Employment Visa) or for tourism-only travel, or with no genuine Indian business counterpart / invitation.
• !
  Pakistani nationality or Pakistani origin (parent, grandparent or spouse, or birth in Pakistan), an adverse security check, or an undisclosed criminal record.
• !
  An already-active Indian visa for the same period, or an adverse immigration history (prior overstay, deportation or blacklisting).

Refusal grounds are at the discretion of the deciding officer and can change. This list is informational — always verify current requirements at the official government portal.
