Why Brits Visit India
Why Over 1 Million British Nationals Travel to India
Visiting Family & Roots (VFR)
Nearly 30% of British visitors travel to India to visit family and friends. The UK's 1.5 million-strong Indian diaspora means millions of British citizens have personal connections to India, from grandparents in Punjab to cousins in Gujarat. The e-Tourist Visa covers VFR travel.
Heritage, Cricket, and Culture
From Eden Gardens cricket test matches to exploring British-era architecture in Kolkata and Mumbai, India and Britain share 200 years of intertwined history. The Golden Triangle, Goa's beaches, and Kerala's backwaters remain perennial British favourites.
Gap Year and Backpacking
India remains a top gap year destination for young Brits. Rishikesh, Goa, Hampi, and Ladakh attract budget-conscious travellers. The 30-day eVisa is perfect for shorter trips, while the 1-year multi-entry visa suits extended travel plans.

Insider Tips
Travel Tips for British Visitors
🛫 Entry Ports
eVisa is valid at 28 designated Indian airports, including Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, and Hyderabad. Also valid at 5 seaports. Not valid for land border crossings.
📋 Keep It Accessible
You may be asked to show your eVisa at hotel check-in, domestic flights, or by local authorities. Carry both a printed copy and a digital copy on your phone throughout your trip.
💷 Currency & Payments
India's currency is the Indian Rupee (INR). Major credit cards are accepted in cities, but carry cash for smaller towns and rural areas. ATMs are widely available at airports and city centres.
⏰ Plan Ahead
While Express processing is available (48 hours), we recommend applying 5-7 days before your departure. This gives time for expert review and any needed corrections without rush.
