## Notes
Nepalese citizens may live and work freely in India under the 1950 Indo-Nepal Treaty of Peace and Friendship.

## Can this stay be extended from inside the country?
- Possible inside: **no**
- Must leave the country: **yes**

An e-Visa cannot be extended, and it cannot be converted to an employment, business, student or research visa from inside India. The permitted stay is fixed when the visa is granted.

**How.** In genuine emergencies — serious illness, natural disaster, closed borders — the FRRO may grant permission to remain. That is a discretionary regularisation of your stay, not an extension, and it is never granted simply to keep travelling.

**If you cannot extend.** Exit from any Immigration Check Post before the visa expires and apply again from outside India. For a longer stay, apply for the correct paper visa category before you travel rather than trying to change it after arrival.
