East Timorese Passport Requirements
Minimum Validity Period
Your East Timorese passport must be valid for a minimum of six months beyond your intended departure date from India. This requirement is strictly enforced at Indian immigration checkpoints.
If your passport has less than six months' validity remaining, apply for renewal at the Directorate of Citizenship and Migration in Dili before submitting your eVisa application.
Blank Pages
Your passport must contain at least two completely blank pages for immigration stamps. These pages must be entirely blank with no marks, writing, or partial stamps.
Document Quality Standards
You'll upload a clear photograph of your passport's biographical page and a recent color photograph. Both images must be sharp, well-lit, and meet Government of India standards.
Blurry or poorly-lit images are frequently rejected by the automated system, so take time to ensure high-quality scans.

Critical: Exact Information Matching
Your eVisa application information must match your East Timorese passport exactly. Immigration officers verify every detail against your passport when you arrive in India.
Even minor spelling differences can result in entry denial or eVisa cancellation. This is why professional document verification is essential before submission.
