How to get an Indian visa in Phuket?


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

I need to get an indian visa. I thought I could do that in Malaysia but it turned out I can't because they accept applications only from the residents of Malaysia.

I can that in Bangkok but the prices of the tickets to India from Bangkok are 2 times higher than from Kuala Lumpur so I'll probably have to take a flight from Kuala Lumpur anyway.

Your suggestions? Singapore?

You could visit The High Commission of India in Singapore, and then fly with Tigerair who fly to several destinations in India.

That said, weigh up the costs of accommodation in Bangkok versus Singapore, as you may have to wait 2 days for the visa.

It may be cheaper to get it in Bangkok, due to cheaper accommodation options, versus the more expensive flight.

Cost it all out and take your pick.

Yes, but I want to stay for over one month and besides the price of the 1 month visa is $60 -- too expensive for one month.

From the official Visa for India website, online applications also available

The validity of visa will be 30 days from the date of arrival in India.

all of the friends of mine have never been asked to do so, they've done for it years in Bangkok with no trouble. Has it changed recently? when? Or maybe that's your friend who happened to be asked?
