What this means
India requires holders of a Vatican City passport to apply for an electronic visa (e-Visa) online before travelling. Apply only through the official government e-Visa portal, allow several working days for processing, and carry the approval when you travel.
Whatever the requirement, your passport generally needs at least six months of validity beyond your travel dates, and border officers can ask for proof of onward travel and sufficient funds. Rules on this page cover ordinary passports and short tourist visits — work, study and long stays follow different rules.
