Tourist Visa
For group tourist visas (four or more), the application has to
be supported by documents from the local tour operator arranging
the trip and its Indian counterpart and should contain the detailed
itinerary. Such visas will be valid for entry after 15 days from
the date of issue. As the processing time for tourist visas other than the group tourist
visa is about 6 weeks, applicants should apply well in advance

A one month single entry visa can be given on a letter of invitation
issued by any one of our Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry,
Business Councils, Trade Promotion Bodies, Members of the India-China
Joint Business Council, Central and State Public Sector undertakings

The letter of invitation must be attached with the application
and also a letter from the applicant's company introducing him/her.

such visas is about 6 weeks.
