My 75-year-old mother needs to go back to India to stay with her sister for 6 months. She has a tourist e-visa on her passport, good for 5 years, multiple entry. The problem is, she’s already visited Calcutta from Feb-May this year, so 4 months.

We’re getting conflicting reports, and her flight is this Sunday- can a multiple entry tourist e-visa be used for 180 days at a TIME, or only 180 days in a YEAR? The consulate here in DC won’t reply to my phone calls or emails and the websites say different things, so fast answers are REALLY appreciated! Thank you!
