Are you on an India Tourist Visa and need to re-enter India within 2 months after last leaving India. You have come to the right place my friend because you are going to need the India Re-entry visa. This permit is granted only in cases of an emergency, and not for Business Activities/Employment or pursuing studies/research, etc.
I’ll break everything down for you below about how to go about getting the India Re-Entry Visa.
Visa required for U.S. citizens before you go to India: Yes.
Diplomatic and Official visa applications, however, are accepted directly at the Indian Embassy and Consulates.
Visa required for non-U.S. citizens before you go to India: All foreign nationals entering India are required to possess a valid international travel document in the form of a national passport or UN Laissez Faire with a valid visa obtained from an Indian Mission or Post abroad. Nationals of Nepal, Bhutan and Maldives are however, exempted from this requirement.
(Go to my India visa page for information on the other types of visas for India.)
If you’re inside the U.S.:
All visa applications must go through Cox & Kings Services.
There is still an Embassy of India in Washington D.C., however, as well as various consulates.
If you’re outside of the U.S.: Click here.
Follow the links from Step 1 above where you will see pretty fool-proof steps on how to go about getting the visa.
Submit your required materials and visa fee from Step 2 to the entity you found in Step 1.
Congratulations! That’s it!
