Tourist ILP
Steps
- Open the official ILP portal and start a new application.
- Choose the domestic tourist category.
- Confirm the one-time code sent to your phone.
- Upload the documents, including a local contact. A guarantor is not required for a tourist.
- Pay online. The portal adds payment-gateway charges.
- Download the ILP card when it is issued.
Documents
Documents should be JPG or PNG, not over 300KB.
Ticks stay on this phone only. Do not upload an identity document into this guide. This guide does not collect or store one.
Fee
₹200 per person, valid 30 days. Payment-gateway charges are extra.
The ILP portal says an online tourist application made during working hours may be approved within 4 hours. If it is sent outside working hours, it may be approved in the first 3 hours of the next working day. This is not a promise. The same page says other categories can take hours or 2 to 3 working days.
Fees for labour, student, consultant, and other categories are not copied here. Use the official rates page for those.
