Indian Visa Requirements For Tourists
July 27th, 2022
Tourism is an important and growing industry in India. From across the globe, visitors come to witness spectacular landscapes, ancient temples and historical monuments, wildlife, beaches and much more.
According to Wikipedia, 17 million foreign tourists travel to India each year, with the World Travel and Tourism Council calling India a "tourism hotspot."
American citizens visiting India for tourism are required to carry both a valid passport and an Indian tourist visa. You need to apply ahead of time for the visa, as you won't be allowed to travel or enter India without it. Here are the documents you'll need when you apply:
Your US passport

Travel Visa Service: 4 Countries Worth The Money
December 17th, 2013
Applying for a travel visa for one of the countries on this list? You'll probably want to seek professional help with the application process from an experienced group of experts.
India
Currently, India's visa system is complex and can be confusing, even if you're just going as a tourist. In fact, the US Department of State notes that "Indian visa regulations change frequently, often with little advance notice, and changes may be poorly advertised and inconsistently enforced."
With 16 different types of Indian visas to choose from with varying requirements, and a sometimes nit-picky application process, it helps to have a professional visa expediter to guide you through the process and act as your advocate.

With an alphabet soup of different visa types, you need to make sure y
5 Facts About Indian Visa Services
November 4th, 2013
Planning a trip to India? You'll need an Indian visa. Here are 5 things you need to know before you apply:
1) Apply ahead of time.
Some countries offer visas on arrival to US citizens. For example, if you visit Mexico, you simply go through immigration and get a visa stamped in to your passport- no need to apply ahead of time. However, India does not offer visas on arrival. You must apply in advance, or you will be denied entry.
2) Check your passport.
As long as your passport is valid for the length of time you plan to be in India, you're good, right? Wrong. Your passport must be valid for at least six months after your arrival in India, and it must have at least 2 blank pages in the back. You won't get your visa if your passport doesn't meet these qualifications.

Get an Indian Visa to Visit Manas National Park
April 3rd, 2011
This week's featured UNESCO World Heritage Site is one of the best places in the world to see a variety of endangered animals, including the elusive tiger.
Manas National Park is located in the Himalayan foothills in Assam, next to the border with Bhutan. It's not just a national park, it's also a Project Tiger Reserve and an elephant reserve. The tiger population within the park is the second-highest in all of India.
Tigers aren't the only big cats here, either. Leopards and clouded leopards are also present, as well as a variety of smaller wild cats.
The park encompasses both grassland and forest habitats, so the wildlife is quite diverse. In addition to the tigers, notable forest animals include the slow loris, several different types of langurs, sloth bears and an unusual armo
Get an Indian Visa to See the Red Fort of Agra
March 6th, 2011
This week's featured UNESCO World Heritage Site is the less-well-known older sibling of the world-famous Taj Mahal. The Red Fort of Agra is located about a mile and half away from the Taj Mahal. Like the Taj, the Red Fort of Agra is a relic of the Mughal Empire, which ruled India from the 16th to the mid-19th centuries.
While the Taj Mahal was built as a monument to Mumtaz Mahal, the favorite wife of the Emperor Shah Jahan, the Red Fort of Agra was the center of the Mughal administration and the home of the imperial family. More of a walled city than a mere fort, this breathtaking collection of buildings gets its name from the red sandstone that the walls and many of the buildings are constructed out of.
Inside the walls, there were originally about 500 sandstone buildings, though so
