I am a US Citizen, going to be applying for the Indian Visa for the first time. 
 
I have an upcoming trip first week of June and was curious what's the process of getting an Indian Visa either Emergency or Regular. Also, I intend to apply for OCI as well but I'm not sure when I should apply for it. 
 
Appreciate your help on getting the visa sooner than later.

Hi-

the process is very simple.  Apply for evisa online here:

 

https://indianvisaonline.gov.in/evisa/tvoa.html

 

be ready to upload a photo and your passport.  it takes a few days and they will email you the visa.  I just did this a couple of months ago.  Process was very smooth.  As for OCI, that might take a bit?  I'm not sure.  here is a link for that.  perhaps you can figure out how long it takes.  I'd probably get the regular visa and do OCI later.

good luck.

Is e-visa same as regular visa? How long did it take you to get your e-visa?

Yes, e-visa just means you can apply online (e- electronic).  you can apply for 1 year, 5-year, etc.

Once I submitted all info, I got a response in 2 days with the visa attached.  It is a simple process.
