Transit Information – Ranchi Airport

As it relies on a number of circumstances, including whether you leave the airport and the length of the layover, many tourists are unsure about whether they need a visa to transit through India and reach another location.

When Is a Transit Visa Required to Enter India?

In general, you need a transit visa if your stay in India is going to be between 24 and 72 hours. If you will be in India for a stay longer than 72 hours, you will require the appropriate visa, such as a Visa on Arrival.

  • A layover that lasts less than 24 hours, based on the arrival and departure times scheduled.
  • with tickets on hand for flights to a third nation.
  • Remaining inside the designated Transit Area (means no clearing immigration, no re-checking your luggage).
