It’s during
the holiday season, and you are probably looking forward to that vacation in
the Goa. It could even be that work errand to or from India you need to get too
urgently, and you are wondering how to get a visa without a tussle.
In the 21st
century acquiring a visa has been made easy. You could apply for it online, by
mail or by reporting directly to their offices. Payments for visas have also
changed through time. Now you may use Visa tokens to pay for your visa. There
are several requirements you will need to fulfill to obtain your entry visa.
Requirements Set by the India Visa:
Passport:
You will
require an original signed passport and a photocopy of passport information.
The passport should be valid for six months beyond your stay in India, and it
should be signed.
Indian visa application forms:
You must
have a signed Indian visa
application form. Have an extra copy as well just in case need arises.
Your signature on both the Visa
application form and passport must match. Remember to sign on both pages of
your visa application form.
Photograph:
For your Indian
e Visa enquiry you will need a recent colored 2×2 passport type photo
with a plain background. You should not wear sunglasses when the photo is
taken. The photo should not be stapled to the application either. Alternatively
you can upload your passport photo to the Global Service Order Form instead of
providing physical photos.
An Additional particulars form:
This is just
a fill-out form on other important information to verify your identity as being
legitimately your own. Preferably avoid the use of the term ‘N/A’ in questions
that do not apply.
Proof of residential address:
Here you
will have to provide a clear photo of your drivers’ license or state issued ID.
The address should match exactly your present address on the visa card.
Alternatively, a recent major utility bill like on electricity, gas, water,
sewage or a current lease containing both the tenant and landlord may be
accepted.
Letter of invitation from India:
In case you
are coming to India for a company job, a letter of invitation from the Host
Company or individual explaining their relationship to you as the applicant is
important. The purpose of the travel should also be stated. The letter must be
signed and sealed on company letterhead by the host in India. As a measure of
being on the safe side, you may include the business cover letter.
Business letter:
A letter
from your employer or sponsoring company from outside the country introducing
you, the applicant, is important. The letter should include the applicants’
employment status in the company and a clearly stated purpose of going to
India.
A tourist visa on arrival scheme exists
currently for nationals of listed counties. Here you can apply for and receive
the visa on arrival to the country. This visa is only valid for 30 days, and
can only be used for tourism purposes.
As soon as
you submit your visa application form you will receive a receipt number that
allows you to track the progress of the processing of your e-Tourist Visa. It
takes a minimum of 4 working days to get e-Tourist
Visa approval. Once you receive a confirmation email with the approval of
your application form you must print
a copy and keep it with you at all times during your trip to India.
