Visa Validity
Transit visas are usually
valid for use within 15 days of issue. They are valid for direct
transit only, up to a maximum of 3 days. For a stay beyond 3
days in India, a transit visa is not the appropriate visa.
Important: Travelers must leave India on or before the
expiration of their visa. Travelers who remain in India beyond
the validity of their visa could face detention and significant
penalties. If your intended length of stay in India exceeds the
validity of your existing visa, you must apply for a new visa.
|
Visa Processing Time
India visas are usually
processed in 8 business days. Rush visa processing may be
available for additional fees. Please visit our Indian Consular
Fees page for details. Rush service is defined as any attempt
made by Passport Rush to retrieve the visa in less time than the
amount required by the Indian embassy or consulate to process
the visa.
In order to ensure that
visa applications for most embassies/consulates are submitted on
the day that we receive them, they should be shipped to us via
FedEx Priority Overnight (not First Overnight or Standard
Overnight).
Non-refundable tickets or reservations should not be purchased
until all visas and passports are secured and in your possession.
