THE VISA APPLICATION FORM
The online visa application form is an essential and obligatory element of your India visa application.

This online visa application form has been created and is operated directly by the Indian Government. As a private outsourcing partner of the Embassy of India, Paris, VF Services (UK) Limited has no influence over the content of the website or the form and are not in a position to modify its content or structure.

After having filled your form online, a printable form (in the format of a PDF file) will be generated automatically with your personal details. You will need to download this file, print it, glue your photos and sign each page.

How long will my form be valid?
Under instruction from the Indian Government and in order to protect your personal data, your application details would be kept for a maximum of 20 days. It is therefore necessary to submit your application within 20 days of registering online. If we do not receive your application before this period, we would no longer be able to access your data (they will have been deleted) and you would be required to complete a new online form.

Where can I fill my form?
We would invite you to fill in your form from your home since certain questions on the form may require access to documents that you may not have on you (ID card number, hotel address, birth details of your parents, old visa details…).

Help, translation and user guide
The new online visa application form is only available in English. However, our services have provided a step-by-step user guide which translates and explains each question in French.
