Ao in the latest updated visa on arrival or e visa on arrival requirements, one need to have a pssport valid minimum 30days from the date of arrival for a 15 day visa on arrival. I have 4.5months valid and had applied evoa online through vfs global.
But now i am getting asked for confirmation from flight through which i am travelling and my immigration as some countries donot allow their residents holding passport validity less than 6 months to travel abroad. Although no such thing is mentioned in indian immigration .
Can someone please explain whether i can board my flight and apply for visa on arrival there?
Attaching indigo’s exception of voa , vfs faqs and bureau of india immigration requirement.
Please do help . Urgently require some advice,
TLDR : Answer Summary
The inquiry pertains to whether an Indian citizen can board a flight to Thailand with a passport valid for only 4.5 months, despite the typical requirement of 6 months for many airlines. The main point of concern is the airline's rules, as they often enforce stricter passport validity rules to avoid issues with stranded travelers. It is advised to confirm the airline's regulations, as Thai visa rules only require a passport to be valid for the duration of stay for a Visa on Arrival. However, for return travel and possible layovers, the 6-month validity rule might still apply, necessitating checking with the airline before the flight.
