Indian Visa-on-Arrival

I’ll take a crack at this from what I have gathered.

I’ve flown in/out of India at Delhi and Chennai airports. Both have a separate queue that I have seen for visa-on-arrival tourists to queue up and apply for, although Chennai airport’s new terminal is currently under construction and the immigration desks at the existing, old terminal you’ll fly into are far fewer than those in Delhi.

I spoke to a friend from Singapore who used this service at Chennai airport and she said she didn’t have to wait more than 25 minutes for the visa to be issued. You may also find this experience on TripAdvisor of a traveller who availed visa-on-arrival to be useful.

According to some other travellers, your point of problem may be a transit airport instead! If the airline check-in staff don’t know about India’s visa-on-arrival scheme (only a few countries are on the list), so get a printout of visa advisory from the official Indian tourism website Incredible India to back you up in case you get into that argument anywhere along the way.
