Passport and transit notes
- Passport validity
- The reviewed Ministry of Foreign Affairs procedure requires a current passport in good condition but does not publish a universal six-month buffer on this procedure.
- Validity source (opens in a new tab) Validity guide
- Transit recommendation
- airside transit: conditional; landside transit: required; The current admission table does not publish a blanket Indian-passport transit exemption. Confirm a fully airside transfer with the airline; crossing border control requires the authorised tourist visa or another valid admission permission.
