Most international visitors need an Indian visa before travelling to Pune. Apply online at indianvisaonline.gov.in for an e-Business Visa (about USD 80, one year validity, multiple entry, 3–5 working days) or a 30-day e-Tourist Visa (USD 10–40 depending on nationality). Carry a passport valid at least six months, a return ticket, your Auto Cluster show registration or organiser invitation, and the hotel address; Nepal and Bhutan nationals do not require a visa. Exhibitors bringing equipment should plan a temporary import bond through a licensed Indian customs broker, because India does not operate the ATA Carnet system.
Estimated cost: Varies by visa type and nationality (check official site).
Processing: Varies by nationality; apply several weeks before travel.
