Hello there!
My wife and I will be travelling to India either in December or in February 2010.

First of all Id like to know whether we will need visas (Im english, my wife is Brazilian) And if so, where i can get one (please dont say london!)

Will we need visas for other countries near India? Bangladesh, Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia etc. (I know Bhutan just isnt an option!) if so, will it just be a case of them stamping our passports on arrival?

Also, can someone advise me about any good websites offering cheap flights FROM india?

Lastly, what kind of prices are we looking at for things like hotels in India??? And how about in Thailand? (most likely will be going there too)

CHEERS EVERYBODY!!!! :D

Hi Adam,

You and your wife certainly need a visa to travel to India and the other countries. Thailand is the only place that offer Visa on arrival for tourists. However, I would suggest getting all your visa's in place before your start traveling. Eliminates uncertainly and queueing up in long lines.

You would need to figure out the closest Indian Embassy/Consulate from where you stay and apply. Assuming you have a British passport, it would take 1-2 working days to get your Tourist Visa.

Similarly you'd have to apply at each countries Embassy/Consulate for the Visa. Many of these applications can be done online and you simply can google it up and the websites, forms etc are available there.

Hope this helps planning your trip.
