Transit Visa

Transit Visa

A Transit Visa is issued for transiting through India to another foreign destination. It is valid for 15 days and permits a stay in India of up to 72 hours. A person intending to make two entries into India in transit in the course of the same journey may be granted a double-entry Transit Visa, with each stay in India of up to 72 hours.

A Transit Visa must be obtained before departure, as there is no provision for visa on arrival in India.

Note: Passengers transferring to a connecting flight who do not intend to leave the airport or pass through Immigration do not need a Transit Visa.
