In most other countries, VSF Global has the responsibility for issuing Indian visas, including in the United Kingdom, Australia, Thailand, China, Sri Lanka and France.  \nWhen applying for an Indian Visa, you’ll need to obtain a visa application form from the Indian Embassy in your country, or complete an on-line application form on the website of one of the visa processing agencies where possible.  \nAlong with your application and fee, for an Indian Tourist Visa you’ll need to submit your passport that’s valid for a least six months and has at least two blank pages, a recent passport sized photo, and details of your itinerary. In some countries, proof of residential address may also be required. Your visa application form may have  \nthe space for Indian referees, but this section usually isn't required tobe completed for tourist visas.  \nTourist VISA REQUIREMENTS:  \n1. Passport Requirements: Original, signed passport valid for 6 months from day of application, and with at least two blank visa pages preferably back to back. Amendment pages are not acceptable for visa stamps.  \n2. Indian Visa Application Form: One visa application form per applicant completed on-line, printed and signed. Only on-line applications are accepted. Signature must be original on each application. Improperly completed forms may delay the processing of your visa.  \n3. Photo Requirements: Two recent 2 x 2 passport type photographs, in color, front view and with a plain/light background.  \nSan Francisco and Washington DC jurisdictions: no glasses may be worn in these photos; photos should not be stapled to the application.  \n4. Other Forms: Proof of residential address in the United States: Clear copy of applicant's driver’s license, utility bill or phone bill. Address on the document must match address on the visa application form.  \n-  \nAND  \n-  \nCopy of Birth Certificate: A photocopy of the applicant’s birth certificate. Any birth certificates that do not originate from the US or India must be translated into English and must be notarized. Please note: You should not send the original birth certificate; Travisa cannot be responsible for original documents.  \n5. Minors: The visa application must be signed by both parents and a copy of both parents' signed passports must be submitted. A copy of a parent's driver's license or utility bill can be used for proof of residential address in the US.  \n6. Other Requirements: Indian visas allow multiple entries into the country, however, there must be a gap of at least 2 months between two visits to the country on a Tourist Visa. No Permit is needed if the visa holder is traveling to multiple countries on the same itinerary and the trip follows the itinerary exactly. The visa holder must carry a copy of the itinerary to show the Immigration Officer. All other applicants seeking permission to enter India multiple times within two months must submit the following:  \nLetter of Request: A letter addressed to the appropriate Indian  \nConsulate seeking permission and highlighting the urgency of the visit. The letter should also provide a detailed explanation of the reason for visiting more than once within two months, the purpose of journey and the expected dates of travel. The specific purpose of visit must be clearly indicated, for example: for recreation/sight seeing, casual visit to meet friends and relatives/others (to be specified), and not for engagement in business activities, employment or pursuing studies, research, etc.  \nFee: The Indian Consulate ch","cbCairVQClX6tbDr","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairVQClX6tbDr","pdf",40063,8,"English","# Tourist Visa to India\n## Application process and visa processing agencies\n## Tourist visa requirements\n## Multiple-entry, re-entry requests, and validity\n## Processing time and submission instructions","[{\"question\":\"Where can applicants apply for an Indian Tourist Visa?\",\"answer\":\"Applicants can apply through the Indian Embassy/Consulate in their country, or complete an online application via the visa processing agencies when available.\"},{\"question\":\"What documents are required for an Indian Tourist Visa?\",\"answer\":\"A valid signed passport (at least six months and two blank pages), an online visa application form printed and signed, recent color passport photographs, itinerary details, and in some cases proof of residential address and birth certificate documentation.\"},{\"question\":\"How do multiple entries and re-entry requests work for a Tourist Visa?\",\"answer\":\"Tourist visas allow multiple entries, but there must be at least a 2-month gap between visits.
