Travel Visa. Travel to India requires a valid U.S. Passport and a Visa. According to the Embassy of India in Washington, D.C., the processing of Visas has been outsourced to TravisaOutsourcing.com where the India page of their website has a link to the Visa Application page which has a link to an online form for applying in person. Requirements for applying in person are listed as well as an online India Visa Application showing everything needed to apply for a Visa. However, one of the quickest and easiest ways to get a visa is to use the India Visa application web page of A Briggs Passport and Visa Expediters.
