do german citizens need a visa for india

Yes, German citizens typically need a visa to visit India. There are a couple of exceptions:

• Bilateral arrangements: In some specific cases related to bilateral agreements, a visa might not be required. However, this is not the usual situation.
• E-visa: German citizens can apply for an electronic visa (e-visa) online instead of visiting an Indian embassy or consulate. This is a convenient option for short-term tourist, business, medical, or conference visits.
