Passport |
|
The Consular Passport and Visa (CPV) Division of the Ministry of External
Affairs is responsible for issuance of Indian Passport to the Indian Citizens.
This document is issued from 28 locations across the country and 160 Indian
missions abroad. The passport can be applied in the passport office, having your
present address area in its jurisdiction. |
|
To apply for a passport, you have to obtain an application form from the
Passport Office or the designated Speed Post Centre or any of the designated
outlets in your city. Along with the duly filled application form, you have to
submit proof of residence, date of birth, change of name, documents for ECNR,
expired passport (if any), passport size photographs etc. |
|
All self-attested copies of certificates/documents would be checked against
originals at the Passport Office at the time of submission of application. A
Gazetted Officer should attest copies of certificates/documents sent by post. |
|
The normal time taken for issuance of a passport is five to six weeks. However
in case of an emergency you can apply for a fresh or duplicate passport under
the 'Tatkaal' scheme. The Tatkaal Scheme allows passports to be issued on
payment of additional fee over and above the normal passport application fee.
The 'Tatkaal' Scheme would only be applicable in cases where either the police
verification report is not required (minors less than 15 years of age) or where
a passport can be issued on post police verification basis (duplicate
passport/re-issue of passport without change in address, Government servants
with NOC and their spouses and applications with Verification Certificates). |
|
VISA |
|
Foreign Nationals desirous of coming into India are required to possess a valid
passport of their country and a valid Indian Visa. |
|
There is no provision of 'Visa on Arrival' in India and no fee is charged for
immigration facilities at the airports. Foreign passengers should ensure that
they are in possession of valid Indian Visa before they start their journey to
India except nationals of Nepal and Bhutan who do not require visa to enter
India and nationals of Maldives who do not require visa for entry in India for a
period up to 90 days (a separate Visa regime exists for diplomatic/official
passport holders). |
|
The Consular Passport and Visa (CPV) Division of the Ministry of External
Affairs is responsible for issuance of Indian visas to the foreign nationals for
their visit for various purposes. This facility is granted through various
Indian missions abroad. |
|
Visa fees are non-refundable and subject to change without notice. The High
Commission reserves the right on granting and deciding type/duration of visa
irrespective of the fees tendered at the time of making application. Granting of
Visa does not confer the right of entry to India and is subject to the
discretion of the Immigration Authorities. |
