India visa: in country extensions, is it possible
I have taken longer than planned
 to get near to India (currently in the UAE) and so the remaining time on my India visa won't give me the time I want to explore India. I was assuming I could happily ride into India and pick up a visa extension on the way. But have just read in very tiny, blurred print, on the bottom of my visa the words: "Tourist visa non-extendable" which seems pretty clear.I quick search brings up some old related threads: http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...visa+extension http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...visa+extension and this article: http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/cou...howtoindia.php Does anyone have any uptodate information on getting a visa extension (ideally another 6 months) while in the country, or am I best to apply for another visa while out of the country which I think can be done in the UAE though I need to find where and how... paul RTW Home

My info is not up to date, but things in India change rarely...
Do NOT enter without time on your visa. Get a new six month visa while outside. The Indian government is trying to discourage foreign tourists having extended stays in the country. New visas are rarely issued within the state - even Nepal can be a problem. Have a look at the lonely planet boards for the latest. Simon

Cheers Simon, a visit to the Indian Embassy here in Dubai informed me that I can not have a 6 month visa only a 3 month visa (at a special cost of 200 Dirhams - bit under 30quid) and it will take 3 working days (though I will allow 10 to be sure!)
So when it gets a bit nearer my leaving date I will go back to the Embassy and start the ball rolling.

Thirty quid - normal price everywhere.
