Visiting India: São Toméan citizen → India
🛂
You need a visa for India
São Tomé and Príncipe passport holders need a visa to visit India — apply at an Indian mission, and check whether you are eligible for the online e-Tourist Visa on the official portal.
The bottom line
- Many nationalities are eligible for the online e-Tourist Visa — confirm your eligibility on indianvisaonline.gov.in.
- If not e-Visa eligible, apply for a regular tourist visa at the Indian embassy/consulate (or its visa centre) with jurisdiction over where you live.
