Tourist visa for India

[g3org3y]

Any experience on how long it takes a standard tourist visa for India to come through from the time the online application is filled?

From my understanding further forms need to be submitted (with photos) by hand thereafter.

Would two weeks be enough time?

TIA

Took about 6 weeks, earlier this year, from filling in application for a relative. Not sure if the additional paperwork was delayed in anyway - may have been a few days before this was sent after on-line application completed.

Thanks for the info.

India trip is off the cards now, gf states she can't afford it.

Just as well, going in 2 weeks would have been the monsoon season.

Pretty grim time to be there, weather is rainy and muggy, and you can't get lovely stuff like the fresh sugar cane juice, jelly nuts (madaf) etc.

Go around Nov- Jan sort of time for the best climate. Give places like Brightsun or Southall Travel a call, they'll be able to do you very competitive flight deals.
