I read on another forum, that you can only get so far, and then get stopped.

I have sent another email to a slightly difference address, as I had no reply other than the standard bounceback on the first attempt.

Hi all :wave:
just a quick one......
When we travel to India this November, we are backpacking around for a few weeks first.....Mumbai..Varanasi...Agra....Jaipur...Delhi then down to Goa to chill-out...
When filling in visa aplication form...it asks places to visit whilst in India....do i need to put them all down and if not will it cause any problem ?
When you get your visa it does not state where you will be travelling in India..... :que
Many thanks....Neil

PLEASE CAN ANYONE HELP.I got a friend to fill forms in on line for our visas She completed forms and paid by credit card.Not a problem i thought reciept for payment was printed but she did'nt print the actual visas forms off.Is there any way we can get back to them and print them or have we lost the payment and will have to pay again or will they accept had written forms with the payment already been made.I feel sick about it.I'm not good on computers so thought she'd do a better job than me. I hope someone can help as hubby not a happy chappy at min.
