Entry Requirements
UK passport holders require a visa for India. Here is a quick guide before you book
British passport holders require an Indian e-Tourist Visa (eTV) applied for online before travel. Apply via the official Indian Visa portal (indianvisaonline.gov.in) at least 4 to 7 working days before departure. Tourist e-Visas allow stays of up to 90 days.
Travelling for business? An Indian e-Business Visa is also available online for UK nationals, permitting business meetings, conferences, and industry visits. Apply well in advance. Entry is permitted through 28 designated international airports.
UK passport holders transiting through Dubai (DXB), Abu Dhabi (AUH), or Sharjah (SHJ) do not require a UAE visa for airside transit. This covers most Emirates, Etihad, and Air Arabia connections to India.
British passport holders transiting via Doha Hamad International Airport (DOH) on Qatar Airways connections to India do not require a transit visa. UK passport holders are also eligible for a free transit visa if stopping over in Doha.
No mandatory vaccinations are required for India for UK nationals. However, Hepatitis A, Typhoid, and Tetanus are recommended. Some areas carry risk of dengue fever and malaria — consult your GP or a travel health clinic before departure.
Comprehensive travel insurance is strongly recommended for India. Ensure your policy covers medical treatment, emergency evacuation, trip cancellation, and any adventure activities. Private medical costs in India can be significant for uninsured travellers.
⚠️ Entry requirements and health rules change frequently. Always verify the latest information via the UK FCDO India Travel Advice page before booking and before travelling. Sky Voyage is not responsible for entry decisions.
Smart Booking Tips
Practical strategies to help you secure the best India flight deals in 2026
Diwali (October/November), UK school summer holidays (June–August), and December are the most expensive periods. For these dates, booking 4 to 6 months in advance is strongly recommended. Prices for peak summer travel can double compared to low season.
Flying from Manchester (MAN) or Birmingham (BHX) can sometimes be cheaper than London, depending on your route and airline. Comparing departure airports across all major UK airports often saves money — especially for Delhi and Mumbai routes.
Direct flights from London to Delhi save time but may cost more than one-stop options via Dubai, Doha, or Istanbul. For Mumbai, Goa, and South India destinations, connecting flights are often the best value option.

Before You Fly
Key planning information to make your India trip smoother, safer, and more enjoyable
Most UK nationals require an Indian e-Tourist Visa applied online before travel. Apply at least 4 to 7 working days before departure via the official Indian Visa Portal. Ensure your passport is valid for at least 6 months beyond your travel dates.
India uses the Indian Rupee (INR). ATMs are widely available in major cities. Many businesses accept cards, but carrying local cash is advisable for smaller vendors, auto-rickshaws, and local markets outside main cities and tourist areas.
Comprehensive travel insurance is strongly recommended. Ensure your policy covers medical emergencies and evacuation, trip cancellation, and any adventure activities such as trekking in Himachal Pradesh or water sports in Goa.
Baggage rules vary by airline and cabin class. Air India, Emirates, and Qatar Airways typically offer 30kg economy allowances on UK to India routes. Virgin Atlantic and British Airways vary by fare. Always check your allowance before travel.
Key arrival airports include Indira Gandhi International Delhi (DEL), Chhatrapati Shivaji Mumbai (BOM), Bengaluru (BLR), Hyderabad (HYD), Chennai (MAA), Kolkata (CCU), and Raja Sansi Amritsar (ATQ).
October to March is the ideal season for most of India — cool, dry weather in northern cities and perfect conditions in the south. For the Himalayan foothills and hill stations (Shimla, Manali), May to June offers the best access before monsoon season.
