chiangrai Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 I need a visa for India and they want me to show a return ticket. This doesn't suit me,I don't know when I will be coming back or from which city I will be near, Is there any way around this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabhand Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Is this through the eVisa application process? I applied last year for an EVisa to India and don't recall needing to show any air ticket in the application process, which went very smoothly.

chiangrai Posted May 22, 2019 Author Share Posted May 22, 2019 The evisa is only for a short visit.I'm applying for a tourist visa which is for 6 months. Is there some way around paying for a return flight like the travel agent selling you a return ticket and refunding you when you get the visa.

E visa is good for one year and for Irish nationals you can stay 90 continuous days then you have to leave, Nepal for example, but can re enter for another 90 days but not sure if you can do it a third time. What's the terms on a paper visa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morch Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 The requirement is, I think, technically there, but the application is sort of like Thai Immigration offices - sometimes they insist, sometimes they don't. As someone else offered, easy enough to buy a ticket and cancel later on. If you go down this way, cancel it after you're in-country, as this could come up on arrival as well (been there, done that).

chiangrai Posted June 4, 2019 Author Share Posted June 4, 2019 How about Thai travel agents,can they help. If not what do you have to do if you buy a ticket online,do you just print it out or do they post you a ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to, but easier if you carry the printed ticket with you as long as needed. Once in-country and past immigration, you may cancel the ticket. There's no need to bother with travel agents, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesky3000 Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 You need to show a visa if youre staying long if not just a return ticket will do. They think immigrants are over staying in india but who will want to stay there.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
