Visa questions

Do I need a visa to visit Pune?

Pune follows India's national visa rules. Most foreign visitors need a visa; many nationalities can apply online for an Indian e-Visa, others apply to an Indian mission, and citizens of Nepal and Bhutan can visit without one. Pick your nationality above for your page, and check indianvisaonline.gov.in before you travel.

Where do I apply for the Indian e-Visa?

Only on the official Government of India site, indianvisaonline.gov.in. Third-party sites may charge extra or look official without being so. Apply before you travel and keep the approval with your passport; the official site sets the categories, fees and timing.

Can imptpune.in issue a visa or an invitation letter?

No. imptpune.in is a hotel and travel site; it does not issue visas, invitation letters or legal advice. A hotel booking made through the IMPT app comes with a confirmation you can show when you apply or on arrival.

Which airports accept e-Visa arrivals?

The Government of India designates the airports and seaports where e-Visa holders may arrive, including the major international airports. Check the current list on the official e-Visa site before booking flights to Pune.
