All tourists require a visa to visit India. The majority of travellers will be eligible for the e-visa (applied for online prior to your departure), but for some trips (depending on where you are travelling to and how long you are spending in India) you will need to apply for a visa through VFS Global and attend a regional visa office. Please note that you MUST have a machine readable passport to travel to India. As outlined on the FCO website; ‘foreign nationals who arrive at an Indian port holding non-machine readable passport will be denied entry’. Please note e-visa’s are currently suspended for British Nationals and you cannot obtain these. You will need to apply via the Indian Embassy and collect in person. Please book an appointment as soon as possible as there are delays.
