India Pre Check & Appointment Confirmation – Tourist & Business

Indian E-Visa Reinstated

India have reinstated the India E-Visa for British Passport holders – you are no longer required to attend an appointment in-person to obtain a visa in your passport. If you would like to apply for the E-Visa please click here.

If you still wish to apply for our pre-check service for a passport visa, please be aware there is currently limited availability for appointments at the Indian Application Centre. You may need to visit a London centre for your application to be submitted in time for your travel date.
