Indian Visa Query

Hi All,

I am applying for 6 month Tourist Visa to cover the time whilst my OCI application is in process. I really do not have any plans to go to India, and the visa application is just to ensure I have travel document in case of any emergency.

I have few queries with regards to my application and I request you all to give me some guidance. My questions are as follows:

1) Date of Journey-I hope this is not a very important field and I can fill any date, say one month from the date of application.

2)Field ' Have you visited India before'- I would say NO because my previous visits were with Indian Passport. Please confirm

3) 'Countries Visited in the 10 years'-DO I need to fill this considering my previous(Indian) and present (British) nationaility. My Bristish Passport is pretty much blank and I am not sure what should I include in this field.

4) Not sure how this Online Application Works. On the last page of the online form there are two options(Modify/Edit and Verify COntinue). If I press 'Verify and Continue, will the form be submitted to the Indian High Commission. The question is relevant here because there could be mistakes in the form which may not be identified until a print out is taken and checked properly. My worry is there is a disclaimer at the top of the form which say any false information will cause legal action and obviously, I don't want to send a form with wrong information to the authority. I think just my Indian visa application is saved in their system does not mean that I have applied. If I find some big mistakes, I hope I can start with a fresh form and ignore the previous application which is in their system. Please can anyone comment on this.

A quick reponse will be much appreciated and I am planning to visit VFS office Tuesday.

Regards

Please can anyone give me some suggestion.

Hi Samrat,

How did you get along with your Indian Visa. What did you eventually fill in in the 'Have you travelled to India before' section? I am in a similar predicament and am struggling with the Indian Visa form. Please advise.

Regards,
Imran

I m still waiting for answer

Hi,

I was granted Indian Visa a few weeks ago. The process was very smooth and just took two working days to get back my British passport with Indian visa stamped.

Regarding your question, I said 'NO'. If you want to be very sure, call VFS. There is a 020 number on their website. They were very helpful is answering my queries.

Good luck.

Regards
