Visas

Sri Lanka:
1 month, single entry, tourist visa: $20 USD

Never has a visa application been simpler or quicker. It all happens online and within 
five minutes we had received email confirmation of an approved visa. Simply print the receipt and present it on arrival. Easy.

India:
6 months, single entry, tourist visa: $95 AUD


The Indian government wants to know everything. From the town where your parents were born, to whether your grandparents were Pakistani nationals and what visible markings you have. Fill in the application form online, print it, stick a passport photo on it, take the form and your passport to the visa services centre in the CBD and pick it up five business days later. 

Note: India being India, your application requires a passport 
sized photo that is unlike many others: 5cm x 5cm

Nepal:
1 month, single entry, tourist visa: $40 USD

Our plan is to get a visa on arrival in Nepal. As they are valid from date of issue, our visit to Nepal is too far in advance for us to apply while in Australia. We have however downloaded and filled in the visa application form and we plan to have our $40 ready and waiting as to speed up the process when we arrive in Kathmandu.
