Hi,

How many days am I allowed to spend in India if I get a visa with six monh validity? Is there 30 days limit like in other countries or in this case I can spend all the 6 month in India.

Thank you.

It depends.

Some visas you will be able to spend 180 days, some visas will require a stay of no more than 90 days, some might be thirty days. Single entry, double entry, multiple entry.

We need to know a lot more to even attempt a definitive answer.

What nationality are you? What national heritage do you come from? Where will you apply for the visa? Are you journalist?

“ How many days am I allowed to spend in India if I get a visa with six monh validity? “

~~ six months gives 180 days (approximately) you can stay in India ~~

Any restrictions will be shown on the visa eg, if the visa is for 6 mths with no restrictions, you can stay for 6 mths, if the visa is for 6 mths, with 'no single stay to exceed 90 days', then you will have to leave and re-enter after 90 days.

Indeed, there can be a “what if“+ or another +“what if“, even endless ‘what ifs’

And what if the visa is endorsed, and says "each stay not to exceed 90 days." ?

With respect, old_india_hand, .....

Let's just give him that last little bit of info.

6 months FROM THE DATE OF ISSUE. NOT the day you enter India.

My point, old_hand, is that you can't blanket say "you'll get 180 days" there are a number of possibilities, and some additional information might rule some of them in or out.

I have no need for resuscitation, although some stupidity still takes my breath away.

As for my editing skills, I'm usually a polite soul, however I see some fairly tasteless commentary on here - haven't quite yet be prepared to lower my standards. However, consider yourself told.

Point well made Pirate.

Thank you. I would like to stay in India for 45 days. I have to buy the return air ticket to apply for imdian visa. I am from central Europa but I will apply for visa in Bangkok. My concern is that whether buy return air ticket for 45 days. What if I get a 6 month valid visa that let me stay only 30 days. Or is the 90 days the minimum?
