Is there a transit visa? Is it required for India?


Yes, it is mandatory to obtain a transit visa if your stopover in India is longer than 24 hours. It is essential to apply for this visa in advance as it cannot be obtained upon arrival in the country. Additionally, the transit visa allows you to stay in the international transit area of the airport for a maximum of 72 hours, facilitating your connection to your final destination without passing through immigration control. To apply, you will need to submit a copy of your passport valid for at least six months, a recent photograph, and confirmation of your onward ticket to the next destination. Make sure to plan and apply for the transit visa well in advance to avoid any travel disruptions.
