India Visa Requirements for U.S. Citizens

Effective on and after June 18, 2018, the Government of India has rationalized and revised the Visa fees for TOURIST and BUSINESS visas for U.S. nationals.

For former citizens of SAARC countries, such as Afghanistan, Bhutan, Nepal, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Maldives, Iran, and Iraq applying for an India visa with their US Passport may require personal appearance in order to apply for a visa, therefore, GenVisa is unable to process visa requests at this time.
