Indian Visa

A VISA Certificate is a stamp marked certificate on the applicant's passport by the immigration authorities of a country to indicate that the applicant's credentials have been verified and he or she has been granted permission to enter the country for a temporary stay within a specified period.

Foreign Nationals desirous of coming into India are required to possess a valid passport of their country and a valid Indian Visa.
