India visa support for UK residents
India offers several entry routes, and the right one depends on why you are travelling and how long you plan to stay. We are a London-based consultancy that helps UK residents prepare, check and submit India visa applications so they go in complete and correctly presented.
We do not make decisions on your application — those rest with the Indian authorities — but we make the process clearer and reduce the small errors that cause delays.
Common routes
UK passport holders face a higher e-Visa fee than most nationalities due to reciprocal pricing arrangements. We can advise on whether the e-Visa or a regular sticker visa is the better route.
- Tourist / visitor — for holidays, sightseeing and visiting family or friends. Many short tourist visits are covered by the online India e-Visa, depending on your nationality and entry point.
- Business — for meetings, conferences, trade and similar short business activity. A business e-Visa or a regular business visa may apply, depending on your circumstances.
- Employment — for taking up work in India, which typically requires a regular employment visa and employer documentation.
- Other purposes — medical, conference and student routes exist, and people of Indian origin may instead qualify for an OCI card. We can point you to the right one.
Eligibility, entry points and validity vary by route and nationality. We always check your specific case against the official Indian government visa service at indianvisaonline.gov.in (opens in new tab) rather than assuming.
