Visa timing too close for comfort?

Kengonetoindia · Feb 22nd, 2007, 19:24

I've cut it maybe way too tight. My flight leaves Delhi on April 10 just before midnight. and my visa also expires on the 10th. Does the visa expire on the morning of the day it expires or at the end of the day? This is a question I'd like to answer before I get to the airport. A local agent says day's end but I want to be absolutely sure. Wondered if anyone had experience with this situation. Many thanks folks.

Ends at midnight.

But even if your flight is delayed by a day, you'll be OK, your visa is valid for your booked flight, thats all that matters.

Coming from Steven Ber, I have no reason to fear now. The travel agent kind of settled me down but now I know FOR SURE I'm on that plane. Thanks Steven.

Worst case scenario: Something happens that not only cancels your flight but also closes down the airport for three days.

...rather than getting three clear days extra holiday you have to spend at least one of them at the Immigration dept getting an emergency extension.

Your ticket is pretty good indication of your honest intentions.

I wouldn't worry about it.

Most people would argue that I'm the last person you should take Visa advice from.

As Ken's being dragged off to Delhi Central Jail screaming "But Steven_Ber said.....", the burly policemen will be saying "You listened to that idiot?"
