India

A country of southern Asia covering most of the Indian subcontinent. Aryans from the northwest invaded c. 1500 B.C., pushing Dravidian and other peoples to the south. Most of India was unified by the emperor Asoka in the 3rd century B.C. It experienced a golden age in the 4th and 5th centuries A.D. before being invaded c. 1000 by Muslims and later by the Mongol conqueror Baber, who established the Mogul empire (1526–1857). Various European powers established trading posts in the 16th and 17th centuries, with the British assuming authority over India in 1857. In the 20th century civil unrest led by Mohandas Gandhi led to the independence of British India and its division (1947) into the separate Hindu and Muslim countries of India and Pakistan.

  • New Delhi is the capital and Calcutta the largest city.
  • Population: 1,040,000,000.

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.
