Most foreign visitors need an appropriate Indian visa before travelling. Requirements depend on nationality, passport type, purpose of travel and intended length of stay.
Use the official Government of India visa resources and confirm the conditions that apply to your passport. Avoid relying solely on unofficial agents or old travel articles because visa rules can change.
Check that your passport has adequate validity and blank pages. Ensure that your name, passport number and travel details match your visa approval exactly.
Keep digital and printed copies of your passport, visa, travel insurance and emergency contacts. This page provides general travel-planning information and is not legal or immigration advice.
