About This Visa

Indian ordinary-passport holders need a visa for Eswatini before travel. Visa on arrival is suspended while e-Visa is piloted — the visa must be issued and affixed to the passport before departure.

Staff rules page that opens reliably from India: https://hcimbabane.gov.in/page/visa-regulations-for-eswatini/ (High Commission of India, Mbabane). Apply via https://evisa.gov.sz or the Ministry of Home Affairs / an Eswatini mission (often Pretoria for the region). A visa does not guarantee entry; the border Immigration Officer decides.

Documents Required

Typical set (HCI Mbabane / Home Affairs)

  1. Completed visa application form

  2. Cover letter (host / tourist) stating purpose and duration

  3. Passport with at least 3 months validity and at least 2 unused visa pages

  4. Two identity photographs

  5. Prescribed fee

  6. Proof of funds (bank statements, salary advice, host undertaking, medical cover, or cash / cards)

  7. If flying: return or onward ticket, or proof of funds / cash deposit equal to a ticket

Yellow fever certificate only if arriving via a yellow fever area.

2. Good to Know

Rules and notes that apply to every visa type

Watch-outs

  • Visa on arrival is suspended — do not send a client without a pre-issued visa.
  • Stay over 30 days needs a Temporary Residence Permit, not another tourist entry visa.
  • Holding a visa does not guarantee admission.
  • evisa.gov.sz and some gov.sz pages often time out from India — use the HCI Mbabane page for rules if the portal will not open.

How to track

Status on https://evisa.gov.sz after login when the portal opens, or with the mission / Home Affairs office where the file was lodged.
