DixiePig Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Can an Aussie get a visa for India at the Consulate in CM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paagai Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Believe it depends on the purpose of travel. Maybe can still get a simple tourist visa, but Business or similar now have to apply in BKK unless you have permanent residency here. They use a separate company to handle applications now: http://www.ivac-th.com/ have to apply online then send passport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinnieTheKhwai Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 (edited) I got a business visa from the Chiang Mai India consulate less than a year ago. Took a week. (I don't have permanent residency) Edited April 2, 2012 by WinnieTheKhwai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmsally Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 (edited) 2 of my friends (tourists) got their Indian Visa in CM. One French , one US , don't see why it would be any different for Aussies. One was tourist and one a longer term visa, don't know what kind but she goes to India regularly. Takes one week to process.

WinnieTheKhwai Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I would just call (or visit) them and ask. I'm not sure the type of Thailand visa that you're on even matters. (Maybe it does, I don't know) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paagai Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I got a business visa from the Chiang Mai India consulate less than a year ago. Took a week. (I don't have permanent residency) Interesting, the last one I had was just over a year ago and they were adamant they could no longer do it in Chiang Mai (I've had several from the consulate here in previous years). Did they actually do the processing themselves or send it to BKK? Time to renew so the topic is of interest to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was for a business visa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mahseer Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Note than Brits are eligible for 5 year visas (US 10) so if your planning on heading across numerous times would be worth enquiring but the usual maximum of 180 days in country and 2 months between visits still apply. Remember to take 2 copies of passport personal details page with you for all applications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
