Immigration:
When arriving at any international airport in India, proceed through immigration and look for the sign indicating TVOA (Tourist Visa On Arrival). You must have your visa letter (ETA - Electronic Travel Authorization) from the Indian Consulate, which should be presented along with your passport. The processing is relatively simple, but there might be some delays due to potential issues with their fingerprint scanner.
Travel Insurance:
Travel health insurance is mandatory for all travelers to India. It should cover personal accidents, death, medical expenses, and emergency repatriation, with a recommended minimum coverage of US$200,000 for each category of cover. It is also strongly advised to have coverage for cancellation, curtailment, personal liability, and loss of luggage and personal effects, as there are chances of theft or misplacement of luggage within the airport.
India SIM Card at the Airport:
For the convenience of having network and internet access on your phone, it is recommended to buy an India SIM card from Airtel, which is one of the best network providers in the country. After clearing customs, you can easily find an Airtel store at Delhi or any international airport. They will provide you with a SIM card that will be activated within a few hours.
Money Exchange:
You don't need to carry local currency or traveler's checks when traveling to India. ATMs are available at the airport and most destinations, allowing you to withdraw cash with your debit or credit cards. The limit for ATM withdrawals is INR 10,000 per transaction. Visa and Bankcards are widely accepted throughout the country. It's advisable to exchange money from companies in the markets to get better rates.
- General Tips:
- At monuments, there are separate lines for foreigners, and sometimes different entry fees.
- Carry toilet paper with you as it might not be available in all bathrooms, especially while traveling on highways.
- Always keep your passport, visa, plane tickets, and money secure.
- Be cautious of scams, especially outside hotels, with tuk-tuk drivers, and near monuments. Stay calm, smile, and be persistent if faced with difficulties.
- Plan and book your transportation in advance, especially for trains, planes, and first-class buses.
- Use only mineral water for drinking and washing fruits and vegetables. Inform restaurants about your spice tolerance and any allergies.
- Carry soap with you to wash hands properly after using public toilets.
- When asking for directions, ask multiple people for more accurate information.
- In temples, you might need to remove footwear before entering. Consider wearing easily removable shoes like sandals, or ask the temple attendant to keep an eye on your shoes for a small fee.
- Consider hiring an English-speaking professional for private trips, as it can enhance your travel experience by providing more insights into local culture and places.
