VISA INFORMATION :

While applying for visas, passport valid for a minimum of six months beyond the date of intended departure from India should accompany visa applications. Please paste one photo and staple the other one on the form at specified place. Foreigners holding other nationalities (other than Japanese) need to submit proof of long-term (at least three years)/ permanent residence in Japan. Visa, once granted, is valid from the date of issuance, and not from the date of entry into India. Visa is generally not given beyond the period for which passport is valid. For example, if a passport is valid until April 30,2003 and an applicant is applying for 5 years visa on December 31,1999, the applicant will not be issued a 5 years visa as the passport expires before the 5 year visa. If visa is for more than 180 days, registration by the traveller is compulsory within 14 days of first arrival in India with the nearest police station.
