Important Advisory/Points

Note: If any additional documents is required based on the application, the applicant have to provide the same.

Note:  Please bring all the required original documents for verification.

1. Who is eligible for the Ayush Attendant Visa?
• Ayush Attendant visa (AY-2), may be applicable to those who are accompanying a patient on Ayush visa (AY-1). Maximum of two persons (attendant or family member) are permitted with a patient.
2. What is the duration of an Ayush Attendant Visa?
• The duration of the visa is co-terminus with the Ayush visa (AY-1) of the patient.
3. I intend to travel not immediately, but at a much later date. Can my visa be issued to coincide with the date of my travel?
   • No. There is no system of issuing post-dated Visas and the validity of regular visas starts from the date of issue and not from the date of your proposed Entry / actual entry into India.
4. I had applied for an Indian visa but I have changed my mind. Can I claim a refund of the visa fee?
   • Visa fees are non-refundable. Once the visa application is accepted, the visa processing fee cannot be refunded / reclaimed even if the visa is refused / not granted or in case the application is withdrawn by the applicant.
5. How do I withdraw my application and will I get a refund?
   • If you wish to withdraw your application you are required to contact Alankit ICAC (where you submitted your application) and submit your written application / request stating the reason for withdrawal. Embassy / Consulate will consider your request and it may take 1-2 working days. As per our policy, visa fees are not refundable.
6. What are the regulations to apply for Indian Visa for applicants holding Dual Nationality or Dual Passport holders?
   • We expect applicants holding dual nationality or dual passport holders, to use one nations passport only for travel to India. This would smoothen your immigration procedures while arriving / departing from India. Applicants are also required to declare their dual passport at relevant column in the Visa application form and both passports need to be submitted for visa processing. Applicants holding Pakistani Passport and Passport of any other country are requested to apply for visa on their Pakistan Passport only and both passports need to be submitted. Visa will be issued on the Pakistan passport only, for such cases.
