Indian Embassy

When applying for a visa to India you need to cross your Ts and dot your Is.
And there are even more hoops to jump through if it’s a business visa you are getting — two letters are also required, one from the company you are visiting and one from the company you are representing. There is also another form to fill in on top of the online form you have already filled in.
Like Emily says, do your research. The website has all the details, but that said do not be surprised if you’ve missed something and you need to come back again.
Another tip is be super polite and patient with the staff behind the counter. I hear it’s not helpful to be impatient with them. Sure, why wouldn’t you be ;)

Well these guys don’t like to make life easy for ya to be honest.
If you do happen to need to get an Indian visa, allow me to give you some tips.
— You have to print all your forms before you get there — do not think that they’ll have them on file — they do not!
— You can only apply for a visa between 9.30am and 12pm, and collect from 4pm to 5pm. You will not be able to do anything but these tasks within the correct allocated times
— They don’t take cash so make sure you get a bank or post office order
— They take and keep your passport, so don’t go to apply for a visa if you’re planning on traveling in the following week or so.
— If you do need to make photocopies or print, Centra on Rathmines main road can do it for you. There is also an internet café called Net House on Rathmines Road Lower that can help ya out.
If you follow all of these steps, you may rate the aul Indian Embassy a bit higher than me. Unfortunately to learn all of these things, I had to do the opposite. Guinea pig if you will. You’re welcome. Glad to be of service! *Clicks heels and flies away*
