Visa & Entry Requirements for India
Visa for Digital Nomads: India e-Visa / Business Visa
Delhi falls under India's visa framework. The most relevant option for digital nomads is the India e-Visa / Business Visa. Requirements typically include proof of remote income, health insurance, and a clean criminal record. Check the official India immigration website or your country's embassy page for current requirements before booking.
Tourist / Visitor Visa Most nationalities can enter India on a tourist visa or visa-on-arrival, typically valid for 30β90 days.
Visa Runs & Extensions If no long-stay visa suits your situation, many nomads cycle between tourist visa periods using neighbouring countries. Research current extension policies β they change frequently.
Always verify visa conditions with official government sources or a local immigration lawyer before arriving.

When to Visit Delhi + Practical Tips
Best Time to Visit
Best months for Delhi: OctβMar
Delhi (India) has a climate that works well for nomads during these periods. In general:
- Peak season (OctβMar) brings the most favourable weather and the largest nomad community β but also higher accommodation prices
- Shoulder season (1β2 months either side of peak) offers good weather with better deals and fewer crowds
- Low / rainy season can mean challenging weather, reduced social energy β but prices are lowest
Practical Tips
Time Zone: Delhi operates on UTC+5:30. Remote workers should check they have at least a 2β3 hour overlap window with their main client or team timezone.
SIM Card: Pick up a local SIM at the airport or a convenience store. Look for a data-heavy plan (10β30 GB) rather than minutes β you will use WhatsApp and internet far more than calls.
Banking & ATMs: Notify your home bank before arriving. Many nomads use Wise or Revolut to minimise ATM fees. Check ATM availability in Delhi β tourist-heavy cities tend to have reliable networks; smaller towns may not.
Health Insurance: Standard travel insurance rarely covers remote working. Use a nomad-specific policy (SafetyWing, World Nomads, or Genki) that covers medical evacuation and longer stays.
Power & Adapters: Check the local plug type for India and bring a universal adapter. Voltage in most of Asia/Europe is 220V; carry a converter if your devices are 110V-only.
