As the UK leaves the EU, it’s important to be aware of any changes that may occur to the visa requirements for British citizens in India. This article outlines the main points and what US citizens need to know.
What are the Indian Visa Requirements for British Citizens?
British citizens can visit India for tourism or business purposes without a visa, as long as they are not travelling on behalf of any organisation or corporation. Indian nationals must have a valid visa to enter the UK, and must apply online before travel. To stay longer than 90 days in India, Indians must obtain a work permit from the Indian embassy in London. US citizens can visit India without a visa if they are traveling for tourism or business purposes and meet all other requirements for entry into India, such as having a return ticket.

What are the Indian Visa Requirements for US Citizens?
If you are a US citizen, you can visit India visa-free for up to 60 days in each 180 day period as long as you have a valid passport and tourist visa from your home country. If you are travelling with a British citizen, the 120 day visa-free travel rule will also apply to them.
If you are not a US citizen, the Indian government has different visa requirements for different nationalities. The most common requirement for all foreign nationals is an invitation letter from an authorised representative of an organisation based in India.
Some other factors that may affect whether or not you can obtain a visa include if you have any criminal convictions, if you are HIV positive, or if your passport is currently cancelled or suspended by your home country.
Please contact the Indian embassy in your home country if you have any questions about obtaining a visa.
How to Apply for an Indian Visa?
If you are a British citizen or US citizen and want to visit India, you will need to first apply for an Indian visa. There are a few different types of Indian visas that you may be eligible for, depending on your nationality and the purpose of your trip. INDIAN VISA FOR US CITIZENS
To apply for an Indian visa, you will first need to gather the following information:
– Your passport number
– Your visa application form
– 2 recent passport photos (2 × 2 inches)
– Proof of travel insurance
– Proof of financial support (if applicable)
Once you have gathered all of the required documents, you can begin the application process by visiting a local embassy or consulate. Most embassies and consulates accept applications between 8am and 4pm, but check with the specific embassy or consulate before travelling. You will need to provide your passport number, visa application form, proof of travel insurance, and proof of financial support (if applicable). Some embassies or consulates may also require additional documents such as a letter of invitation from a host organization in India or proof that you have enough money left over after purchasing travel insurance in India. Once you have submitted all of the required documentation, you will receive a notification in either English or your language indicating whether your application has been successful. If it has not been successful, please contact the embassy or consulate for further assistance.
