| Single- Multi entry visa Problem!!? Hi am in Kerala and been in India for 1 month now. I am wanting to go to Thailand but have to return to Mumbai for a flight to Australia. AS i didn't think i would be going to Thailand i only got a single entry visa. Is there a way to change it to Multi entry or will it be a case of getting another visa for a couple of days wait in Mumbai and who knows how long this costs and takes? Thanks. |

You give your location as UK so assuming you're English I am surprised you have a single entry visa. Unless you're of certain heritage such as Pakistani, the standard is multiple entry, and it certainly costs no more than single entry. I guess that if you specifically applied for a single entry visa, they might have given you one. This may sound obvious, but have you checked what visa type you've been given? There are cases where people applying for single entry have been given multiple entry. Quote:
If you will only be in Mumbai for a day or two, you might qualify for an Indian transit visa, but I have no idea whether that would be any cheaper or quicker to acquire in Thailand than an Indian tourist visa. For details of how long tourist visas are taking to process, which currently seems to be a minimum of five working days, keep an eye on the sticky about it at the top of this forum.

| ahh yes i think i may get a transit visa or is it ok to not have a visa and stay in the airport for a day to catch a follow on flight or do i still need a transit visa for that? |

| Look up transit visa for the rub on that. It depends on whether you have luggage transferred and maybe how long you will be there.. Last edited by edwardseco; Feb 25th, 2009 at 05:08.. |
