🌐Why Greek passport holders need a visa for India

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

⚠️Common Reasons India Tourist e-Visa (eTV) Applications Are Refused6

• !
  Poor-quality uploads — a passport bio-page scan with glare, a cropped or blurred machine-readable zone (MRZ), or a photograph with shadows, wrong dimensions or a non-plain background — failing the e-Visa system’s automated verification.
• !
  Any mismatch between the application and the passport — a single wrong character in the name order, passport number or date of birth, or using initials instead of the full given name/surname — triggers automated rejection.
• !
  An ineligible travel document — passport not valid for at least six months from arrival with two blank pages, or a Diplomatic / Official / Refugee / temporary travel document (the e-Visa is only for ordinary passports).
• !
  Purpose mismatch — applying for the e-Tourist visa for activities it does not permit (business, paid work, journalism, study, missionary/research work, or treatment that requires an e-Medical visa).
• !
  Pakistani nationality, or Pakistani origin through a parent, grandparent or spouse, or birth in present-day Pakistan — such applicants must apply for a regular sticker visa, not the e-Visa; likewise an undisclosed criminal record.
• !
  An existing valid Indian visa for the same dates, a prior overstay, or a previous deportation / blacklisting on the immigration record.

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.
