| Submitted my India e-visa application a few days ago. How long does it usually take to get approved? I’m travelling in two weeks and starting to get a bit nervous. |

India e-visa processing officially takes up to 72 hours (3 business days), though many people receive approval within 24 to 48 hours. With two weeks until your trip you should be absolutely fine, so no need to stress!
That said, delays do occasionally happen, particularly around Indian public holidays or if your application needs additional review. If you haven’t heard anything after 4 to 5 days it’s worth logging back into the portal to check your status and make sure nothing is flagged.
You can track your application here: https://indianevisa.com. If you applied through a third-party like iVisa, maybe Sherpa check your account there for status updates. Two weeks is a comfortable buffer, you should have your approval well before you travel.
