07Questions

India visa questions.

At least four days before arrival, and no more than 120 days ahead for most visa lengths. We lodge as soon as your dates are firm so there is room to fix anything the authorities query.

The 30-day visa allows two entries within its validity. If you expect to return within a year or five, the longer multiple-entry visas usually work out cheaper. We advise on the right one for your plans.

Only through designated airports and seaports, which include all the major international airports. We confirm your arrival point is on the list before you book.

No. Tourism, visiting friends and family, and short yoga or medical courses are allowed. Business meetings need the e-Business visa, and employment needs a regular visa from the consulate.
