British Passport - VISA Requirements

Dear Forum,

I wonder if you can advise me as i have been given all sorts of differing answers and the Indian Embassy is impossible to get through to!

My partner and I are going to India for 2 months from dec - feb. How long do we have to have on our passport to apply for a VISA.

Mine runs out in october 2008 and my partners in June 2008.

Very grateful for a clear answer to this problem!

Hello Dan,

Usually they ask for a minimum of 6 months validity on your passport at the end of expected time of travel. I'm not sure if this differs from Embassy to Embassy but I assume it's pretty much the same.

AS YOU CAN SEE YOUR PASSPORT MUST BE VALID FOR 6 MONTHS.

HOWEVER MOST COUNTRIES WANT IT VALID FOR 6 MONTHS AFTER YOUR PROPOSED RETURN.

TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE I WOULD RENEW THE PASSPORT EXPIRING IN JUNE. NOTHING WILL BE LOST AS THE VALIDITY OF THE NEW PASSPORT IS EXTENDED TO COVER THE EXTRA MONTHS IT WAS TRADED IN EARLY.



ALL REQUIRED INFORMATION IS ON THE IHC WEBSITE

YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THE FORM FROM THE WEBSITE.

General Visa Requirements




The general requirements for visas are:

* Original passport valid for at least six months
* Correct visa fee
* Two Recent passport-size photographs (five photographs in case of Pakistani nationals)
* Supporting documents, where necessary
* Duly completed application form (Pakistani and Bangladeshi nationals need to apply on special application forms)
