Tourist Visa Advisory
This is for information that there should be a gap of at least 2
months between two visits to India on a Tourist Visa.
In case of requirement to visit India within 2 months, permission should be
sought from the Indian Consulate at Shanghai directly without going through the
outsourcing agency VFS Global Ltd. Where permission is accorded in such cases,
registration with the local FRRO/FRO would be required within 14 days of
arrival in India.Click here for
the Request form. Processing time of the request will be 3-4 working days.
However, those holding Tourist Visas, who after initial entry into India plan
to visit another country and re-enter India before finally exiting, could be
permitted more than one entry, as the case may be, subject to their submission
of a detailed itinerary and supporting documents i.e. confirmed Air tickets.
In view of the change in the Tourist Visa procedure, Government of India has
fixed RMB Eighty Five (RMB 85) as Miscellaneous Charge for according permission
to re-enter India within Two months of last exit.
