Current Travel Situation

Eswatini to India: What You Need to Know

India extends the eVisa facility to Eswatini citizens as part of its broader push to simplify travel from African nations. The program allows Eswatini nationals to apply entirely online without visiting a consulate. The eVisa is linked electronically to the passport and verified upon arrival at designated Indian airports.

How to Get There

Route from Eswatini via Johannesburg (JNB) to Mumbai (BOM) or Delhi (DEL) on Air India, Ethiopian Airlines via Addis Ababa (ADD), or Kenya Airways via Nairobi (NBO). No direct flights from Eswatini.

Money & Banking

India uses the Indian Rupee (INR). Cash is widely used especially at smaller shops, transport, and religious sites. ATMs are available in cities. Budget $30 to $80 USD per day depending on accommodation style. Credit cards are accepted at hotels and larger restaurants.

Practical Tips

Apply at least 1 week before departure to allow processing time. The eVisa is valid for 30 days per entry. Carry the printed eVisa confirmation to present on arrival. You must arrive at one of the designated e-Visa airports. Mumbai (BOM) and Delhi (DEL) are the most common entry points from Africa.
