Visa
Travel
to Goa
Everyone needs a visa for India and it must
be obtained before you
enter the country.
Six-month multiple-entry visas (valid from the date of issue) are
issued to most nationalities regardless of whether you intend staying
that long or are re-entering the country. Visa applications can be made
at your nearest embassy or consulate in person or by post. You need to
provide a completed visa application form, passport photographs, visa
fee and, in some cases, an itinerary and proof of onward travel (such
as a flight ticket out of India). Check with your embassy for specific
requirements. Many embassies have a website where you can download and
print a visa application form and get all the information you need.
Visa fees vary from
country to country.
