Do UK Citizens Need a Visa for India?
In most cases, yes.
British passport holders travelling to India normally require either an approved visa or an eligible eVisa before travelling. India offers both regular visa services and electronic visa options depending on the purpose and duration of travel.
However, choosing the correct visa category is important because requirements vary depending on your circumstances.
Therefore, if you are unsure which option is suitable, our team can help.

Business visa applications often require additional documentation.
Typical requirements may include:

In some circumstances, applications may be referred for further review and processing can take significantly longer.
Because of these additional requirements, early application is strongly recommended.
