An Indian Visa is readily available from your nearest Indian Consulate. In countries where there is no Indian Diplomatic mission, normally the British Consulate will issue the Visa. Please ensure that you obtain the MULTIPLE ENTRY TOURIST VISA since this simplifies the procedure for visiting neighbouring countries like Nepal and Sri Lanka .
Indians holding foreign citizenship and foreign passports would also have to obtain Visa before entering India .

TRANSIT VISA
The Government has introduced the facility of providing Transit Visa for a maximum period of 72 hours for those passengers transiting through India and holding a confirmed booking for the onward travel.

LIQUOR PERMIT
All India Liquor permits are issued by the Indian Visa issuing authorities and the Government of India Tourist Offices.

SPECIAL PERMIT
Tourists visiting restricted areas in India like Sikkim , Laccadives and certain parts of Assam etc will require special entry permits from the Government of India.
