India: new electronic visas for international students

India attracts many international students who wish to continue their studies in the country. Therefore, the Ministry of Home Affairs has decided to introduce two new specialized visas: the e-student visa and the e-student-x visa. These visas are designed to simplify the process of obtaining study permits in Indian educational institutions.

The e-student visa is intended for foreign nationals pursuing undergraduate, masters, doctoral and other full-time academic programs. In addition, dependents of e-student visa holders can obtain an e-student-x visa, allowing them to accompany the primary visa holder throughout the academic period. The maximum validity of the visas is five years, renewable within India. Students can enter through any authorized immigration check post.

The new e-student visas help increase India's attractiveness as an international educational center. And also aim to simplify the higher education process for international students and their dependents.
