- Stay limit: on the one-year and five-year visas, your stay in India must not exceed 180 days in a calendar year.
- Validity: the 30-day visa runs for 30 days from your first arrival. The one-year and five-year visas run from the date the visa is granted.

Which visa is best value?
For one trip of up to 30 days, the 30-day visa is cheapest at $25, or $10 if you apply for travel in April to June. If you might return within a year, or want more than 30 days, the one-year visa at $40 is better value than two 30-day visas.
The five-year visa depends on your passport. At $160, it costs the same as four one-year visas, so it suits US citizens who expect to visit in four or more separate years. At $200 for Canadian, Australian and German citizens it only breaks even if you visit in all five years. At $484 for UK citizens, buying a new one-year visa each time you visit is cheaper.
