We are commonly asked this question, as to how you can transfer your India visa to a new passport without having to purchase a new India visa. A question very frequently asked by people that have and India visa on a 5 year or 2 year basis. The answer is simple, complete all the forms as per our website, but on the section where it says “purpose of visit”, put “transfer of India visa”. Then what you need to do is attach your old passport with the India visa and the new passport along with the forms and two passport size photographs and we will liaise with the Indian embassy. We will instruct them to transfer the India visa to the new passport.
As this is a straightforward process and you have made your initial purchase for your India visa, the fee for this charged by the Indian embassy in London is £4 and not the initial fee that you paid.
Changes to the India visa process
There has been speculation about the outsourcing of the India visa application process to a company called VFS – visa facilitation centre. This is a likely move which the India visa embassy application department will confirm closer to the time once logistics are in place. The purpose of this is to make the India visa application process more efficient for all parties involved. Once we have more information on this India visa application process, we shall update our blog to inform all our visitors.
