Planning a trip to India as a U.S. citizen or an OCI (Overseas Citizen of India) holder? This forum is your go-to resource for everything you need to know about visa and entry requirements. Whether you're visiting for tourism, business, family, or spiritual purposes, it's crucial to understand the correct visa category, required documents, processing times, and rules for re-entry.

However, the process, validity, and restrictions can change, so itโs vital to stay updated. Meanwhile, OCI cardholders enjoy lifelong visa-free entry but may still face specific entry protocols, especially during emergencies or changes in international travel policies.
