For any of you resident in London on a New Zealand or Australian passport, it can be very time consuming and stressful to get a tourist visa for India. Allow at least two weeks for this if you have lived in the UK for under a year as your passport will have to be sent to the relevant embassy. Even if you’ve lived in the UK for longer than a year you have to provide a bill or bank statement that’s more than a year old. If you can, also book online for a time to deposit your passport in person as you’ll save yourself lots of time — I didn’t and it took over two hours. Once the visa is in your passport I am sure the hassle is worth it!
