Ah, visas! About the only conclusive information we can give you about visas for India is that if you are a citizen of any country other than India, then you will need to arrange a visa before you get here. Almost without exception, that will be a Tourist Visa.

Other than that, there is nothing definite we can tell you. The length, duration, type and terms of visas to India and/or how complex the application procedure will be are different for different Nationalities, and prone to frequent and unpredictable changes.

For current information which will specifically relate to your Nationality and status, you will have to contact your nearest Indian Embassy or Consulate, which you can locate here:

Tushita can give you no further information or assistance in obtaining your visa.

We are not recognised by the Indian Government as an educational institution and therefore cannot help you to obtain a student visa, or indeed any other kind of visa. Consequently we cannot provide you with any kind of letter or certification which would make your visa application run more smoothly.

In fact, if you are applying for a Tourist visa, you may endanger your application by stating that you are coming to India to study. Indian Immigration authorities have radically tightened up their screening process in recent years, and they are very strict about ensuring that people on Tourist visas are just here for Tourist purposes.

There's no conflict whatsoever about taking one of our courses while on a Tourist visa, just be very clear when you are applying for your visa that you are coming to India only to be a Tourist!
