Validity and permitted stay: two separate checks

A long validity period does not, by itself, describe the length of a single visit.

When the document is valid

India’s portal describes validity by e-Visa category. The event that starts the validity period can differ between categories.

How long one visit may last

The K-ETA guide expressly separates an authorisation’s validity from the permitted visa-free stay. The limit for one visit depends on the rules applicable to the traveller.

What to compare with your itinerary

Compare the itinerary with the issued document’s dates and conditions. Sri Lanka’s embassy in Hanoi advises using the approved Viet Nam e-Visa dates rather than relying only on those requested in the application.
