Indian visa details

How much detail is needed on Indian visa about where you have stayed if you have visited India before. Do you need to try and remember hotel names or can you just put name of town or city.

easy for you to say, fivejacks. Or maybe it wasn't ;)

Umm, that's market research, and no, hotel names wouldn't be required.

You need to remember name of hotels as wel as names of the managers and their spouses.

You need as much detail as possible. They will cross reference the Visa Application data - by calling the Central Registry in Delhi. All those 'C' forms that were filled out on your last visit, they all exist here. From that they will look up the hotels and dates and see if you story matches.

The purpose of all this is to cross reference your data with the tax declarations of the hotels in question. There is a lot of tax avoidance going on in India. If the hotel did not declare your stay on their tax form an official (thug) will go round and demand the money with a cudgel.

if you're talking about the question on which places you have visited or whatever, i've only ever listed city names... and they never all fit so it is usually followed by an etc. i don't remember putting down any specific indian address except for the contact in india.

I think the OP is talking about the Q #7 refers to, which on the Visa application here in OZ is: 'HAVE YOU VISITED INDIA PREVIOUSLY? IF SO INDICATE PLACE & DATE'.....
IF it is this Q then you dont need a lot of detail....I just put names of cities and/or states.
