Foreign nationals travelling to India are required to carry a valid visa. The visa type is determined by the purpose of travel. Even if a visa application is accepted for processing at the Indian Embassy, it does not automatically follow that a visa will be granted. The validity of visa will begin on the day of issue, not on the day of travel.
