Important notice

ONLINE VISA APPLICATION SYSTEM

The Embassy of India, Tunis accepts visa applications from nationals and residents of Tunisia and Libya. 

Please note that all foreign nationals require visa to travel to India. There is no facility for visa on arrival in India and therefore appropriate visa must be obtained before travelling to India. E-visa facility is not available for the nationals of Tunisia and Libya and they must therefore apply for regular/paper visa with the nearest Embassy / High Commission / Consulate General of India.

However, these timeframes are only indicative and some applications may take longer. Each visa application is considered on its merits and the outcome of visa application is not pre-determined and therefore air-tickets may be purchased only after obtaining the visa.
