Hi all,
did anyone (with a EU Passport) ever got a e-Tourist Visa for India? Visa regulations in India change quite often, so I am wondering, if it is actually possible to get the e-Tourist Visa (eTV) that is issued on arrival.
https://indianvisaonline.gov.in/visa/tvoa.html
Thanks!
I went to India in October with the eVisa.
As jdmcwalter said, all you need is to fill the online form a few days before, pay the fee and print the paper.
When arriving at immigration in India, I had to go to a different desk first, where they validated my eVisa.
It was a pretty smooth process.
Thanks for the info! Happy to hear that the e-tourist Visa is actually working. It seems like a good alternative if you do not plan to stay longer then a month. The regular visa needs more planning - you need to go to the embassy or the agency that is in charge for issuing the visas in a specific city in your country of residence (depending on where you live, it can be quite far) and you need to come back some days later to pick it up. If you do it via postal mail it will also take you around 2 weeks I think.
Getting a Visa for India in another country, then your country of residence (also visa run to Nepal or other for example) can be difficult and sometimes even impossible - as I said, the (informal) regulations do change quite often. Some years ago there was also a lot confusion regarding the single, double and multiple entry visa - We had a lot of different info from the embassy and the authorities at the time.
It may have been complex in the past, but honestly felt like a standard tourist visa setup when I did it in the last year. I was living in the US and applied for 6 month visa while there, took about 6 biz days from when i posted it until i got it all back. The e-Visa is even easier, an hr of work to fill the lenghty forms, upload a passport photo and recieved the visa confrimation by email in less than 2 daysโฆ when even my gobshite (but lovely) brother was able to sort the eVisa to visit me in Goa I think its pretty seamless. 
Actually one thing, you need a proper street address on it, they are sticklers (as most countries are) for that and I saw a lady have a big issue in chennai for not having a proper address.
I am EU citizen (Irish). I have gone through both the longer 6 month visa, and did a visa run to sri lanka and back into India on the eVisa. The eVisa is not issued on arrival. You need to apply for it (at least) 2 days before you enter india. Make a note of the code etc but their system knew me. The form online is lenghty, but wasnโt hard. Indian overstays are a nightmare, so make sure you calc your days rightโฆ I overstayed by 4 hours and had to pay $80 to be allowed exit the country, with 1.5 hrs of admin in the airport, barely made my flight out. My fault of course!
Thanks a lot for copy/paste from wikipedia, I couldnโt have done it better 
The question is if people actually have experience with this kind of Visa?
Indian Visa regulations did change often in the past and even the authorities do not always know the newest developments.
Why would they even issue you the e-visa if it was not possible. At some point, you just have to make the jump.
Hi everyone,
I would love to hear what you'd like me to build next on Nomad List, or any other product/feature feedback ideas you have.
It's been 6+ years now but I'm in this for the long term and with the boost remote work got last year it's even more exciting to work on Nomad List than ever.
Current roadmap is here: twitter.com/levelsio/status/1363204985488572417?s=20 and pbs.twimg.com/media/EusS9PKXEAUR8xp?format=jpg&name=4096x4096
The next products/features I have planned:
- ๐ Rebase: visa, residency and immigration services for remote workers
- ๐Courses: learn the steps how to go remote and travel/relocate
- ๐ Gov liaison: diplomacy services to the governments to help us lobby for nomads and for them to attract remote workers
Thanks a lot!
What are the best places right now in the Caribbean/LatAM? (Also cheapest flights/accommodation?) Asking from the US.
As part of signing up for this website I was hoping I would come across a list of Visa and/or Residency requirements by country ideally in a table format to assist with decision making. Does anybody recommend any other websites that might present the information in this format (or Google Spreadsheet)?
I love living in walkable areas of town. I can always find them. But now I'm wondering where in the world are the most walkable places? I'm imagining walk streets (no cars), zoning allowing both business and residential, parks or beaches ,etc.
Hi guys,
After the Netherlands, the Bay Area, Colorado and being on the van life for 8 months, I am now in Sedona, AZ with a few other digital nomads. We are sharing a home here and are wondering if there are more like minded people in the area.
We do a bunch of hikes and campouts in the northern of Arizona. If you would like to connect with us, please do so :)

Has anyone figured out a way to get setup with a virtual number and internet connection anywhere you go?
Hi everybody. I live and work in Germany and want to go to Canary Islands for 6 months to work from there. I'm going to keep my current job, just change the "home" in the home office part of things. Are there any tax issues I have to be aware of? I was reading about becoming a residence after 183 days, thus having to pay taxes there plus my employer having to register there. Does anybody know how it works exactly? Thanks a lot!
Winter is coming and Iโm feeling the ache of travelling after being stuck in the same place since the Pandemic started. Wondering if anyone is travelling right now? If so, where are you currently located and how is the situation where you are?
We are hoping to travel later this year and we will be working remotely - how do you ensure you get good WiFi in places such as in India where the signal isn't always great? Do you have any tips on where to go/ what equipment you have to get?
I have seen a lot of posts from different people across the world, but not even a single post from someone in India, who has been a nomad, either living within the country or traveling to another one.
Would definitely love to hear stories from such people. We are a couple traveling as social nomads who are trying to bridge the gap between the rural and urban societies in India. We have started out very humble and do not have much resources, so looking out for help from the community.

Hello All,
We are a nomad family starting our journey in Medellin. India / Mumbai to be specific is our next destination.
I am finding it very difficult to find properties in AirBnB within a reasonable budget and makaan and magicbricks is cumbersome.
Anyone has had any experience on best approach to find where to stay?
Any help greatly appreciated.

Does anyone know of any decent coworking spaces in Goa (India) ?
Looks like a very fun place to live for a few months. I havenโt been there myself yet but keep hearing very good things about it.
I am going to India for a few months and am planning on going to Kerala, Goa, Varanasi, Dharamshala, Rishikesh. What phone company has the best coverage and data speeds for those places, or India in general?
I also heard of people using a wifi stick to work remotely while traveling in areas where you may not be able to find a coffee shop, hotel, etc, with reliable wifi. What company sells the best one of those and where can you get it?
Thanks!
Hello everyone!
I want to DN India for 3 months (or more) and the country is huge so Iโm not sure how to start planning this, maybe you guys can help 
My major concern is the internet, from what Iโve read itโs really bad - is that true?
What am I looking for:
What am I NOT looking for:
Big cities like New Delhi.
Time - can be anytime of the year.
Weather - I donโt mind hot weather, but donโt want below 0 weather.
Any suggestions would be highly appreciated, if what Iโm looking for is even possible. Thanks!
Iโm travelling there in the fall and video conference online for work. I need at least 10mpbs download speeds. What is available in terms of providers or cellular hot spot options? Thank you in advance!
Hi guys, as I wrote in the title I am planning to move to Barcelona with my girlfriend starting from January 2017 and I am looking to rent a flat for 6 months, possibly in the Born area, but open also to other neighborhoods. My budget is around โฌ800 per month. Is anyone looking to rent out something that could fit my request? Any help would be appreciated!
Iโm wanting to travel to Thailand in February and Iโm a little overwhelmed with travel arraignments (I have only left the US once) and what Iโm going to do once Iโm there.
So far Iโm wanting to be in Thailand for a month. It looks like Iโm going to need shots: Hepatitis A and B and typhoid. I can take care of that no worries.
I was looking into the Visa requirements, it looks like I can just arrive in Thailand and get a 30-day tourist visa?
As for housing I was thinking AirBnb. My goal while in Thailand is to work primarily. I have a project I need to wrap up and Iโd like to do that in Thailand without a lot of distractions.
Now Iโve joined NomadList because it seems I can join up with others to Thailand? Looking at nomadtrips I have no idea how it worksโฆ but that seems to be the place to link up with others? Or maybe Iโm wrong. Iโm looking at: https://nomadtrips.co/chiang-mai-thailand
Whatโs the best way to communicate with this group about meet ups, etc?
Iโm building a longer-term base in Calcutta, India, and was wondering what digital nomads would think of renting a room here, or what theyโd consider a fair rent.
Quick overview:
Newly renovated, ground floor, in a nice residential neighborhood (Salt Lake), a ten minute walk to the City Center mall. Restaurants, pharmacies, public transportation, etc are all within a five minute walk.
Jacuzzi tub in the bathroom, fancy shower stall, nice patio with hammocks and bean bags. AC in the study and bedrooms.
The study has high speed internet access with redundant internet lines (the main line is an actual physical DSL connection, not cellular, extremely reliable, goes down for a few hours maybe once every three years), extra network storage if you need to backup or dump large files, and there are a couple of raspberry pis around if youโre a techie and want to make something while youโre bored.
New paint, new tiles, new electrical wiring, granite bookshelves; the entire apartment was rebuilt (everything from the floor tiles up) this month.
The downside, of course, is that Calcutta is very far off the digital nomad path Assuming anyoneโs interested in seeing this side of the country, what would a reasonable rent be for someone sharing the apartment with me in a private bedroom? I suspect I could make the place work at $250/month.
What else would you like included or available as an option? Food (Iโd normally recommend against this; food in Calcutta is cheap and amazing), tours, travel in this part of India, other stuff I havenโt thought of yet?
Thanks! All ideas welcome. Iโve been toying with the idea of making this a space more friendly to digital nomads since I started the renovation, so I figured itโs time to start vetting the idea.
