FAQ
Do I need a visa service for an Indian e-Visa?
No. India's e-Visa portal: “Services of e-Visa are completely online and no facilitation is required by any intermediary / travel agents etc. It is advised not to believe or fall in trap of any such unscrupulous elements who claim speedy/express grant of e-Visa and charge money for it.”
Where do I apply for a paper Indian visa in the US?

Except eVisas, all Regular Paper Visas are processed through Embassy and its applications are submitted at VFS.” The Embassy adds that “completed visa applications may be either sent by post or submitted in-person in the VFS Indian Consular Application Centers (ICAC) after taking appointment”. Our page on the Indian visa centres in the US lists them by consulate.
