What Visa are you applying for?

Usually payments are done offline - You will have to apply for a visa

- Download the Payment Receipt

- Walk into a bank and ask them to handover a demand draft (You might need an account in an Indian bank for this or you can ask any friend for help)

The difference is applied for a “non o visa” in the past a “single entry tourist”, both times I was given a payment receipt (one I need to take to the bank and then to the embassy),

- Bank provides demand draft

- post that a submissions is needed in person or via an agent to the embassy

I think I can find you an agency who doesn’t charge much to submit it for you, you still will have to courier them the demand draft and receipt

Richard Barney payment receipt......I'll look for that on the sight. But it does say India doesn't have the wherewithal to transfer electronically, at one time I got the message that one option was courier......so I saved the application, (cant chance it timing out again) and when I went back, that message was replaced with can't do anything!!

Deiter Krueze I'm now trying for tourist visa and using agent in Thailand to change it to retirement.

But I can't pay online because India doesn't support it.

Dobby The visa cost is pretty much the same everywhere now, its all done online. Recently I contacted quite a few of the consulate there and ai was not impressed with their attitude. You will get to talk with Indians and keep in mind that indian passport holders face different and stricter requirements when applying for visas. You didn't mention what type of visa you want.
