Check if you required a India Visa

A work assignment abroad meant sorting visa questions early, since requirements depend entirely on nationality and travel purpose. Checking the Check if you required a India Visa page made that clear, since the passport or travel document listed determines what applies next.

What the page helps confirm:

• Nationality shown on the passport decides which visa category applies
• Different rules exist depending on whether travel is for tourism, business, medical treatment, or work
• Selecting a home country brings up the specific requirements tied to that nationality
• Refugees or applicants without a passport are directed to contact the nearest Indian embassy mission instead

Why checking first mattered:

• Avoided assuming eligibility without confirming nationality-specific rules
• Prevented last-minute surprises once travel dates were already fixed
• Made the purpose of visit, whether business meetings or a medical appointment, easier to match with the right category

Selecting the home country from the list turned out to be the fastest way to see exactly what applied before starting the actual application.
