Regarding Visa procedure, India provides e-visa (tourist visa) to citizens of most of the countries.

The e-Visa is available for 30 days from the day you receive your visa. It is to be applied on line and you don’t need any invitation or endorsement letter etc.

You are going to apply as individual tourist. The link goes here: https://indianvisaonline.gov.in/evisa/tvoa.html

Start from e-visa application - the first header on the website. All the participant countries of this TC are eligible for e-visa application.

When you apply your visa, kindly apply under e-tourist visa and further select it as tourism or visit to relatives/friends when you select the purpose of your visit to India.

On the 4th page, write a few cities name like New , , Bangalore, Chennai, and - for the question - places to be visited.

And as local reference, give this address: Ravi Sebastian, Do.No 53-1-387B, Christurajapuram, Vijayawada, , India

My phone number: +91 94 944 75 923 A Your passport should have at least six months validity when you will be in India. In all practical purpose, your visa application and getting your visa should be completed in a two days’ time, after making the payment online.

Follow the upload rules and complete it. The name in your passport and the name you enter in the application should be same and matching. Check it twice before you submit. Please select participants having NO crime record at your local police station. For any mismatching or illegal activities, you alone are responsible.

IMPORTANT NOTE: since your visa is going to be called "touristic" (e-tourist), you do not need to mention name of any NGO or the project itself. Just follow the steps above.

For Vaccinations. Kindly check with the local Indian Embassy for better info I recommend the participants to have vaccine for malaria or typhoid.

KEEP ALL VACCINE CERTIFICATES IN HAND.

Mosquitos are plenty in Vijayawada. Though, you have a well secured room, you will still find a few mosquitos to give you company in the nights. We will provide you a good natural ayurvedic lotion. However, those who want to have their own, please.

Since your stay will be in October, it is the season for the northeast monsoon sliding in. How¬ ever, it remains hot and humid most of the days. You find a kind of ‘stickiness’ in the weather because of its closeness to coastal areas. This also possible to have cyclones sometimes be¬ tween early October to December. So, come prepared for a cool/ hot or rainy season. As of now, the weather forecast for Oct in Vijayawada is 32° - 34° C mostly sunny and possible thun¬ derstorm.

The day time temperature right now is 34° C, but feels like 42° C during the day. In all purpose, the nights will be cooler and days will be hot. Cotton clothes are always wel¬ come.

Clothings /1

Avoid half-trousers when you are on the streets or market places or during field visits. Nobody is going to ask you about your choice of clothing in the rooms.

Regarding personal items, I strongly recommend buying here. You can avoid added weight to your luggage. You find almost every international brand in Vijayawada, and perhaps with less price as well. If you want, you bring your towels, soaps/shampoo etc. But, please do remem¬ ber, we will provide you all these things when you are with us in Vijayawada. However, any personal medications, please bring with you because, we may not get same brand. And also, don’t forget to bring your doctor’s description with you. You may not get immigration clear¬ ance without docto’s descriptions, if you are carrying medicines which maybe prohibited in India.

Please remember: Though people smoke public places here in India, however it remains stat¬ utorily prohibited smoking in public places. I request you to avoid in public places.

****The Strong recommendation - India is religiously sensitive. If you want to enter into any Hindu Temple, make sure, you are permitted. In India, people consider every foreigner as ‘Christian’, and Christians are not permitted in some temples in some places in India.

Next important recommendation to keep in mind is - use of left hand. It is considered in India, as highly disrespect to touch a person or an item especially any religious items with your left hand. It is taken as an offensive. Same way, if the any of your toes (of your legs)/feet happen to touch anyone accidently, even if the other person is very small and younger, don’t hesitate to offer ‘sorry’. You will be on the safer side.

I am only giving you some cautions, so that you are aware of the cultural constrains you might face in some places.

It is a wonderful country. People go out of their way to help you if you ask for any support. As you walk on the road, people might stare at you. Please don’t get offended. This is a way, we Indians try to recognize someone new in our midst. Most of the people you might meet on the road, will smile at you. A welcome smile from us!!!

Health insurance

Make sure, you have a health insurance with air-lifting possibility

Risk management /1 There would be someone to be with you from my team, or you can go out into the city on your own. The city is by and large peaceful. The roads are well protected round the clock. However, I recommend you to avoid late night out on the streets. In case of any issue, you face on the roads, please, call me or our team members.

Feel free to call me for any assistance at any time of the day. If there is any health issue, just call me. We have so many internationally acclaimed hospitals here treating patients from so many other countries.

Our 24 x 7 emergency office numbers: +91 911 054 3855 / +91 949 447 5923 $ l Before you start your journey, kindly have the contact numbers of your embassy in India. tfl
