Indicator Summary

Regular Visa The term “granted by India” describes the quantity of conventional visas that Indian embassies, consulates, and high commissions around the world grant to foreigners who want to enter India for travel, commerce, education, work, medical care, or cultural interaction. The standard visa, in contrast to the e-Visa, requires applications to be submitted through diplomatic missions, physical evidence to be provided, and sometimes biometric verification or an in-person interview. The applicant then receives official entrance privileges into India after the approval is stamped on their passport. This measure is significant because it shows the scope and variety of international interaction with India outside of the streamlined e-Visa process. The ordinary visa system handles a number of categories, including long-term work, student visas, and specific diplomatic or research-related entry. Monitoring the quantity of normal visas issued aids administrators and policymakers in evaluating international cooperation, workforce mobility, educational exchanges, and migration movements. It also emphasizes how Indian posts overseas support international collaborations and improve bilateral ties. In order to achieve its objectives of encouraging investment, tourism, intellectual advancement, and cultural diplomacy while protecting national security and managing migration, India has to maintain an effective and transparent regular visa system.
