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 Embassy of India, Berne directly without going through VF
Services. Where permission is accorded by Embassy of India in such cases,
registration with the local FRRO/FRO would be required within 14 days of
arrival in India . Processing time of the request will be 2-3 working days.
However, applicants , 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. For such cases, the tourist visa will be
issued for those specific entries only and not multiple entry.
The re-entry permit will be granted on discretionary basis only for urgent
travel requirements by the Embassy of India, Berne and on the basis of exact
itinerary submitted by the applicant. An additional endorsement, when requested
for, will cost a fee of CHF. 25.
