Jamaicans interested in travelling to India now have an easier way of applying for a visa to visit that country.

Indian online visas are now available to Jamaicans as well as a number of other nationals like Indonesian, Jordanian, Kazakhstani and Kiribatian citizens. This new India online visa process is opening doors to Jamaicans and other nationals. 

It is seen as a progressive move, aimed at strengthening diplomatic ties, fostering cultural exchange and promoting tourism, business and educational opportunities between India and these nations. Citizens of Jamaica and these other countries now have access to various visa categories, including tourist visas, student visas, business visas, and more, based on their travel purposes. 

The initiative is in line with India’s larger goal of promoting cross-border harmony, cultural interchange, and international cooperation. Indian Visa will be sent via email after they have completed the online application form with the necessary information and once the online credit card payment has been verified. 

Applying for online Indian visa

The citizens will be sent a secure link to their email address for any documents required for an Indian Visa to support their application such as a photograph of their face or passport bio-data page. These can up either uploaded on this website or emailed back to the Customer Support team’s email address.
