Wish I could give negative stars. Worst Service and Website - it just won't let you access your account even after entering correct details. They are just putting shame on India.

Service here is excellent, no hassle at all. Dont' know why so many bad reviews?? If you do your homework i.e. follow online form filling instructions, collect the said documents and do notary as instructed, you will be done there in 5 mins only. People are very professional and there to help.

I received an email that my visa was approved and that I needed to submit my passport for stamping. Where do I send my passport and do I need to include any paperwork?

Hannah Kaplan | Oct 6, 2020

If it's an emergency VISA then you can directly go to the embassy and submit your passport. If your VISA application is under regular processing time then you can go to CKGS office on 23rd street and submit your passport. I would suggest to call CKGS before you head out to their 23rd street office.

If I am a US citizen and do not have dual citizenship do I still need to renounce anything? How long will it take for a Pakistani origin US citizen to get one week visa for India (have to attend a wedding)?

Fancy mail | Oct 7, 2019
MUDASSAR TAI | Oct 7, 2019

If you're Pakistani born, you don't have to renounce anything unless if you ever held indian passport. You can get 30 days on arrival visa but have to submit online application on ckgs which I believe should be better option unless you want longer period visa.

Not having a visa shouldn't restrict you from being able to make reservations. You can book airline or cruise tickets before or after securing the visa.

What is to put under period of stay in renewing Indian passport

vincy mathew | Oct 7, 2017
Anshul Goel | Oct 7, 2017

It won't matter. Your passport will be renewed for 10 years regardless. I don't remember filling that up when recently renewing my passport. Please also make sure you've got the right forms to fill in.
