Business eVisa

Is the eVisa system for business visas back online? It seems like the site is active, but an email to the consulate made it sound like I still needed to jump through the early-pandemic hoops of sending my passport to the consulate along with a deployment letter from the company, invitation from Indian entity, etc...

Excellent, thank you! Is it the normal quick turnaround? I ask only because my passport was just sent out for renewal and waiting for it to come back currently.

Awesome, thanks! Now just working through the travel bubble stuff... think we'll do Etihad from IAD -> AUH -> BOM.

Turkish Airlines has decent business class rates right now, but doesn't appear to be in the bubble.
