According to the Ministry of Tourism, Government of India, the percentage share of Foreign Tourist Arrivals (FTAs) in India during January 2017 from the top 15 source countries was the highest from USA (15.01%), followed by Bangladesh (14.91%), the UK (11.11%) and then Canada (4.63%).

This is a clear indicator of India’s popularity among tourists from around the globe. Its exotic and rustic appeal attracts more and more visitors each year. And that means the number of visa applications filed each year is going to multiply. So, we’ve taken up the job of simplifying the process of applying for an Indian visa, for all those who wish to visit us.

Every country has its own set of rules regarding visa requirements, let us start by understanding India’s.

Who Needs an Indian Visa and Who Doesn’t?

Indian Visa for US CitizensForeign national desirous of traveling to India must have a valid passport and an Indian visa issued before arrival. Passengers found traveling without a valid visa with correct dates and number of entries will immediately be deported.

However, if you are a citizen of Nepal or Bhutan, you do not require a visa or a passport when traveling from your respective country. If a Nepalese or Bhutanese national is entering India from another country, a passport will be required although a visa still not needed.

Another exception to the Indian visa requirement is for travelers who fall under the Temporary Landing Permit category, allowed to land without an Indian visa in case of emergencies like death/sickness. This facility is available on a payment of US$40.
