India - Getting Visa at the Border
 

Hello,

Our family will be driving from London to Singapore, departing sometime in August this year.

We heard in passing that it is possible to purchase a visa for India at the border. I just wanted to ask if anyone on this forum has done this and if yes, would you mind sharing the details around it, e.g. how easy is it to do so, the cost, what documentation is required, and anything else that may be helpful.

Thanks very much in advance.

Hello Cincalok,
As far as I know is it not possible to purchase a visa for India at the border.
2 options. I was quite a few times in India.
Apply in England close to your departure and ask for 6 mnths. Validation starts on day one. or
Apply in Islamabad. Need at least a week, but you can use that time to travel around.
Special overlandercamping close to embassy area. Check in England if this is still possible.
Visa for Pakistan one has to abtain that in home country. When you are british, no problem, when you are f.i. australian, you have a problem.
When you want to stay in Singapore you better check the rules, when you like to continue to Australia, better ship from Malaysia.
Singapore is quite difficult and very expensive and campers are not allowed at all as far as I know

Hi,

I would be very interested to hear your routing for this trip. We are currently in Georgia but thinking of taking the Iran-Pakistan-India option.

thanks
