RE: [registrars] Visa for India

["Tim Cole" <tim.cole@xxxxxxxxx>]

I wish to clarify here that a visa IS required of US citizens visiting
India.  The ICANN Delhi 2008 visa site (http://delhi.icann.org/visa) gives
the following advice concerning the Tourist Visa:

Tourist visas valid for six-month and one year (six months stay each time)
are available. Ten-year Tourist visas permitting a stay of maximum of
six-month on each visit are available to U.S. citizens who are frequent
visitors to India. A person desirous of visiting India frequently but not
intending to stay for more than six months at a time is advised to apply for
this type of visa. Please note that it is not possible to extend your stay
in India beyond 6 months if you are visiting India on this visa. For non-US
nationals, who are permanent residents of US 5 year tourist visa with six
months stay each visit is available.

Also available on that site are links with further information for applying
for a visa.  See for example:
http://indiavisa.travisaoutsourcing.com/guidelines?id=1. 

I hope this is helpful.
