Documents and tips for Indian travellers
Indian passports must usually have at least six months of validity and two blank pages; check both before you apply, as this is a frequent cause of refusals. Fees are billed in US dollars; Indian applicants should ensure their card is enabled for international transactions to avoid a declined payment. The most common avoidable mistake for Indian citizens: submitting with fewer than six months of passport validity or no blank pages, which is one of the most common reasons Indian applications are held.
- Enter your name exactly as in the Indian passport, including any continuation on the rear page.
- Confirm your card supports international/USD payments before checkout to avoid a failed transaction.
- Keep supporting documents (return ticket, accommodation) ready, as Indian applicants are more often asked to evidence them.
