Hi, I've applied for India visa through Sherpa. Curious that I had to pay in US$ and that application won't be submitted until nearer the time but I depart Feb. Wondering if others had same experience please - just to reassure me that I have applied through legitimate company. Thanks for any feedback.

Hi, nighters. I too used Sherpa as applying through the Indian authorities seemed a very long winded process when I looked at the form. As for paying in dollars I noticed a little menu under the price that you can click on to change it to sterling. The application can only be submitted to the authorities 25 days before you arrive which is why you had to wait, I had a 3 day wait. Sherpa are indeed a legit company and would not be recommended by Just You if they were not. The visa takes up to 5 days to be e-mailed to you. Mine happened to come through on the very day that Sherpa submitted it, 10/1/25. By the way, if u have it on your phone be sure to print it as well because a quick scan of some forums showed that other travellers say they like to see a printed version at the airport. Hope this has put your mind at rest and all being well I'll see you in India :)

Tony.

Hello Nighters and Tony, I'm on the Kerala trip next week. I'm looking forward to it but getting a bit nervous, as I always do! I'm travelling down to Heathrow from Newcastle on the 2 November and staying overnight 

Looking forward to meeting you both
