Shiver me Timbers · Sep 22nd, 2004, 23:35

What about Ireland - can we get more than six months?

Perhaps you could start a letter-writing campaign to the Indian Embassy in London?

Good idea. The person to write to is :

Shri Ranendra Sen (High Commissioner)
High Commission of India
India House
Aldwych
London

6 months?! noooooooooooo!!

i have 2 options:

1) take up meditation/yoga immediately.

2) ignore the expiration and continue as normal. hmmm.

My understanding is that the 10 year visa costs the same as the 5 year visa. Go figure.

There is often a question about why British citizens only get 5 year visas to India (and US citizens get 10 year visas) So I went to the page of the British High Commission and here is the information for visa prices

6 month visas - Rs 5,400 (how many miles in 2S class is this?)
1,2,5 year visas - Rs 17,000.

No mention of 10 year visas so presume they are not available for Indian citizens travelling to UK.

The flat rate for US tourist visas required for Indian citizens (apparently of any duration) is $100 (set at Rs 4,000 on Oct 15, 2007). The service charge to the outsourced agent is Rs 322.00 (about $8).

I did not realize the British visas are so much more expensive than US visas for Indian citizens (I am US citizen). Hopefully this will clear up any complaints of why US citizens get longer visas than UK citizens from Indian consulates

Hi, sorry, this link doesn't seem to function.

Got another?

My question is can I apply directly for a 10-year visa? I haven't been to India for the last 13 years, but now I plan to be there alot and am DELIGHTED to learn maybe I can get one for so long!

There is still a maximum stay of 180 days at each entry and you have to be a US citizen to get the 10 year visa.
