1. Download the India Visa application form from our web site

Before you download the application form please read these very important updates:

1. At the beginning of the form you must make a record of the temporary application I.D.

2. When you come to the end of the form you must choose to print the form and do NOT choose to go for an interview.

Download the Indian Visa application form and complete it for each person that wishes to apply (BLACK INK ONLY PLEASE). Once you have completed the form sign it in two places and send your application plus supporting documents to the Passport and Visa Service office.

For the two referees in India required on the form please put the name of your hotel (if known) and the British Embassy, Delhi.

2. Obtain your passport size photographs

You will need 2 passport photos per person applying and they must be 2″ x 2″ whch is not the standard UK passport size we are all used to (Snappy Snaps and Jessops can provide this size). Your alternative – if you have the technology – is to use your own pc but you must use photographic paper then trim them down to the correct size.

Please attach these to the completed application.

3. Visa delivery details and requirements

You need to collect 2 Royal Mail special delivery guaranteed next day 9am service envelopes from your post office.

Address the first envelope to yourself where you want the new passport and visa to be delivered. Address the second envelope to Passport and Visa Service.

Don’t trust the Royal Mail any more? Alternatively if you would prefer to use a specialist courier we can recommend Mailboxes Etc who will arrange delivery of your documents to us in your specified time frame.
