Note: All foreign nationals require visa to travel to India. There is no facility for visa on arrival in India and, therefore, appropriate visa must be obtained before travelling to India. E-visa facility is not available for the nationals of Libya and they must therefore apply for regular/paper visa with the nearest Embassy/High Commission/Consulate General of India.

Processing time: Visa applications from Libyan nationals are normally processed within 5 working days after receipt of all the valid documentation. However, these timeframes are only indicative and some applications may take longer. Each visa application is considered on its merits and the outcome of visa application is not pre-determined and therefore air-tickets may be purchased only after obtaining the visa.
