If your India eVisa was rejected because the wrong visa category was selected, the next step is to correct the category choice and submit a clean reapplication. Category mismatch is a common issue and usually fixable with proper activity-to-visa alignment.
Why This India eVisa Issue Happens
Applicants sometimes choose a category based on trip duration or convenience rather than actual purpose of visit. During review, mismatch between declared purpose and supporting details can lead to rejection.
- Tourist category selected for business-related activities
- Business category chosen without matching travel purpose
- Inconsistent supporting details across form fields
- Insufficient final review before submission

When to Reapply and When to Contact Support
