India e-FRRO Guide: Registration, Extension and Documents
The Ministry of External Affairs directs travellers to the e-FRRO portal for current registration and foreigner-service details. Requirements and service availability vary by case, so use current instructions rather than legacy checklists.
The correct route is determined by the traveller’s passport, the real purpose of travel, the category shown in the live application and the evidence requested for that case. This page explains the preparation decision; the India visa guidance portal controls the final category, fee, eligibility and entry conditions.

Follow a document-first workflow
- Identify the purpose: describe the real activity, not the most convenient category name.
- Check nationality and passport: verify that the passport type and nationality are accepted for the chosen route.
- Prepare evidence: keep the passport bio page, recent photo and purpose-specific documents clear and readable.
- Review before payment: compare names, dates, passport number, travel details and uploads against the passport.
- Track the decision: keep the application reference, monitor email and carry the granted ETA/eVisa with the same passport.
What this page does not promise
Information pages can help applicants prepare, but they cannot replace the visa decision. No private service can guarantee approval, a particular processing time, a fee that applies to every nationality, or permission to undertake an activity that the issued visa does not cover. If the purpose is employment, long-term residence or another specialist activity, compare the regular visa route before applying.
