When applying for an India Visa ( required for entrance into the country), your passport must have a minimum of 6 months remaining before its expiration. The shortest validity for India Visas is 6 months. The process of completing, mailing and receiving your Visa can consume 1 to 4 weeks, so tourists would be wise to renew their passport to ensure maximum validity.

Visas, which are approved for a length of time beyond the validity of the holder’s passport, can be transferred to a newly issued passport. For example, if a passport has 8 months validity remaining but a 1 year India Visa is issued, upon renewal, the Visa with 4 months remaining can be transferred to the new passport.
