Entry/Exit Requirements
It is the sole authority of each country or region in India to determine who is allowed to enter and who is not. Canadian consular officials cannot intervene on your behalf if you fail to meet entry requirements. The following information has been obtained from the Indian authorities with regards to entry and exit requirements. It is your responsibility to check with the High Commission for the Republic of India or its Consulates for up-to-date information as these requirements are subject to change at any time.
Passport
Canadians must present a passport to visit India. The passport must be valid for at least 180 days from the date of entry into India and contain two blank pages for a visa.
Visas
Canadians must be in possession of a visa to visit India. This must be obtained prior to your arrival or you will be refused entry into the country.
Holders of tourist visas are only allotted 180 consecutive days to stay in India, even if the validity of the visa exceeds this number of days. If you are travelling with a visa that is valid for more than 180 days, you must register it within 14 days of arrival. Your visa can be registered with the local office of the Foreign Regional Registration Offices (FRRO) which is located in: Mumbai, Kolkata, New Delhi and Chennai, and with the Superintendent of Police in all other districts.
In the case of a lost or stolen passport, an exit visa is required to leave India. Exit visas can be obtained by presenting the FRRO with a police report, two current passport-size photographs and a letter from the High Commission or Consulate General of Canada providing details of the loss or theft. Entry details must be verified by the FRRO before an exit visa can be issued. This process can take several days.
