Travel Applicaitons
All people traveling will need a valid Passport and VISA. Tickets will not be booked until
you have received both.
- Please apply for your Passport and Visa at least two months prior to your trip.
- You will need a certified copy of your birth certificate for both the Passport and VISA
applications.
- US Citizen Passport Application: You can apply online for a passport at the US Department of
State websitehttps://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports.html.
This is the correct
site for US Citizens to obtain a passport whether renewing or for the first time. The
passport
forms on the Embassy of India web site are only for India Citizens.
- Indian VISA Application: You may apply for an E-Tourist Visa to India here:
https://indianvisaonline.gov.in/evisa/tvoa.html.
You must apply at least 4 days before your date
of arrival. We encourage you to apply for a 1 year or 5 year Visa. It is slightly more
expensive
than the 30 day Visa, but worth it, especially if you plan to travel again. Also, the 30 day
Visa is valid for 30 days from the date you APPLY not from your arrival date. We recommend
you
book the tickets only after the Visa is granted. Though chances are small that you will be
rejected, if you are, you can’t travel and may forfeit the full price of your plane ticket
(airline policy, not ours).
You will need the following two digital items for your Visa application:
- A digital photo of you. You can use a photo you have taken yourself. We recommend a
passport photo
taken at your local photo processor as these are more likely to be accepted as
meeting the specific
requirements listed below. Most places charge about $15 US for 2 photos. They can
also provide you with a digital copy of the photo (though it may an additional
charge). Best advice is if you are in doubt if your self-taken photo is acceptable,
is to get it taken via a service.
- Format – JPEG; Size: Minimum 10 KB to Maximum 1 MB
- The height and width of the photo in pixels must be equal
- Photo should present full face, front view, eyes open and without spectacles
- Head should be centered within the frame and present the full head from the
top of the hair to bottom of the chin
- Background should be plain light colored or white background
- No shadows on the face or on the background
- No borders in photos
- Scanned biography page of your passport showing your photograph and personal
details.
Format – PDF; Size: Minimum 10 KB to Maximum 300 KB

Vaccines and Medicines
At this time, there are no officially mandated vaccines or medicines required for travel to
India. However, for your safety, we recommend checking with your doctor. Please contact your
doctor at least one month before travel as some vaccines/medicines require up to a month to
become fully effective. You can see the current US CDC recommended guidelines on their website: https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/parents/travel-vaccines.html
