How International Guests Can Attend an Indian Wedding

Most international visitors to India need a visa, and India's e-Visa system covers tourist travel for citizens of many countries, generally processed in a few business days. Confirm current requirements for your specific nationality well ahead of travel, since rules and eligible countries can change.

Modest dress is generally appropriate for temple visits and more conservative family functions, even if the main wedding events themselves are festive and colourful. A local SIM or eSIM, arranged either before travel or on arrival, makes staying connected and using ride-hailing or maps apps considerably easier.

For a multi-function wedding, transport between venues, hotels and the airport is often arranged by the couple's family or a wedding concierge service — check with your hosts what's provided versus what you'll need to arrange yourself.
