About Preparing Your Papers for Visa and Insurance
You will require a visa in order to travel to India and there are different options you can choose from. If you want to come to India to do the Teacher Training Course, kindly ensure that you should visit on a tourist visa.
India is now considered as a low-risk country, so travel restrictions regarding COVID-19 have been relaxed. The travel requirements for international travellers visiting India are as under:
- Travellers will need to submit a self-declaration form on the online Air Suvidha portal.
- Travellers must mention the date of vaccination or the date of PCR test while filling in the self-declaration form.
- Travellers must hold a certificate of having completed the full primary immunisation schedule of COVID-19 vaccination or hold a negative report of a COVID-19 RT-PCR test done not earlier than 72 hours before arriving in India.
Most international visitors to India require a valid visa.
We recommend you to go for a ‘Tourist e-Visa’.
This is the most convenient option. E-Visa is valid for 30 days and you can apply for this visa completely online, thus avoiding the need to visit the Indian Embassy or send your passport. When you apply for the visa, you can mention the purpose for the visa as ‘Tourist’ if you plan some travel or ‘Short Yoga Course’, which has recently been added to the list of options.
Important: Apply for an e-Visa at least four days before the date of arrival!
