Visas
Check with the Indian consolate in your home country to find out visa requirements to enter India. All U.S. and Canadian residents are required to purchase a visa before entering India. To apply for a visa, you must contact the closest embassy or visa processing center to the city that issued your passport. U.S. residents on the west coast should contact the San Fransisco embassy. Residents on the east coast can contact the India Visa Center in New York or Washington DC. The India Visa Center also has offices in Chicago and Houston.
