Indian Tourist visa is currently required by all nationalities wishing to travel to India as a tourist, to meet friends, family or holiday.

Applicants wishing to visit India are normally granted a short-term tourist visa, normally for three or six months effective from the date of issue. Tourist visas are non-extendible and non-convertible.

A tourist visa can be issued as single, double, triple or multiple entries. Submission of a detailed itinerary and supporting documentation (ticket bookings) will be required for double/ triple entries.
