Visa Requirements

Ready to jet off on a Traditional Kashmir Tour? Check if you meet the India Visa requirements first and apply in advance to avoid last minute issues. It is important to check updated visa policies before booking a trip because you might not need a prearranged tourist permit at all if your country is on the list of nations eligible for visa-on-arrival or visa-free entry.

Most nationalities do need a visa to enter India which can be obtained online through the e-Visa system or via an Indian consulate. If you need any assistance feel free to contact a trusted travel agency like Arabiers for a smooth application process. One crucial document to have is a valid passport which should be valid for at least six months beyond your intended stay.
