Tourists who are looking to stay longer in India more than 180 consecutive days (or 90, depending on your nationality), and business passengers with travel plans lasting more than 180 days, cannot make use of the Indian E visa. The same is applicable for travellers who want to study in India, perform volunteer work or employing with an Indian organisation. They can go for alternative procedure, whereby the visa is stamped right in the passport at the embassy. The costs in that case are higher, and the request takes more time.
