Tourist Visas which are now valid
for 6 months are issued only to those foreigners who
have no residence or occupation in India and whose
sole objective in visiting India is recreation,
sight-seeing or casual visits to friends and
relatives. Tourist visas count from the date of
issue and cannot be extended or converted into any
other category in India.
All visas other than transit visas are issued only
after telex clearance is received from the Indian Mission in the country to
which the applicant belongs. This process takes
around 1 week after telexes are sent. Applicants
should therefore be prepared to wait for one week
after telex clearance is sought before visas are
issued to them. Telex clearance charges are Nrs.
300/-.
References made to the authorities in India take at
least 8 weeks for examination and clearance.
Applicants are advised not to make repeated
enquiries from this Mission during this period.
The Embassy of India in Kathmandu is the sole
authority for dealing with all matters concerning
issue of India visas to foreign nationals in Nepal.
Applicants are advised not to contact any other
agencies/individuals for this purpose. Visa
application forms are available, on request, at the
Embassy.
Applicants are required to furnish two passport size
photographs while filling up the application form. |
