India visa for Irish citizens

As an Irish passport holder planning your adventure to India, you'll be pleased to know that an e-visa is readily available, offering a convenient entry for up to 30 days with a single-entry tourist visa. This digital route significantly streamlines your travel planning, allowing you to explore vibrant destinations like Rajasthan or Kerala within that timeframe. Remember to factor in the significant time difference, with Ireland typically being 5.5 hours behind India, and consider carrying some Indian Rupees, though card payments are increasingly common in major cities.
