Film Visa will be issued to cast and crew members of international productions and official coproductions shooting a Feature Film, TV/Web commercial show/series and TV/Web Reality show/series. The permission for shooting these categories of production is granted by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (MoI&B), Government of India. The proposals are accepted and processed by the Film Facilitation Office (FFO). The application is to be submitted online on www.ffo.gov.in. The detailed step by step guide is available on the website. For further assistance please write to ffo@nfdcindia.com.
After the shooting permission has been granted by the MoI&B, the cast and crew members of the approved project are required to apply for Film Visa. The validity of visa will begin on the day of issue, not on the day of travel.
