E-Visa Jet Airways First [DEL arrival]
Hi All,

I'm flying to DEL from LHR on 9W121 (Jet) in First. I was wondering if anyone had any advice on whether there is a fast track for the E-Visa queue or if I'll get an escort like Garuda?

First time flying Jet - so any other tips are welcome!

Thanks in advance

You cannot use fast track but there are typically few people at the E-Visa counters in Delhi and it is fairly well organised.

Not sure about E-Visa queue, but there is a separate immigration counter/line for First/Business flyers.

I would assume that would be the same at BOM too, right?

Also do you know if eVisa counter can process Indian passport as well as PIO cards too?

thanks...

Thanks for the info. Well I guess we'll have to stand in line twice then. Hopefully, the lines won't be too long.

I've had escorts walk me through on arrival on AI. Not sure if 9W offers it in F.

Don't use Business/First Express Line if you have E-visa

One piece of advice - if you are flying business class or first, but are on an E-Visa, do not go to the Business/First fast track line in immigration - they cannot handle E-Visas.. You must go to the E-Visa line.

I got a escort the last time I flew in and out in Jet F. That was a few months back. Didn't need a e-visa though.

Thanks everyone, I had a great time in 9W First, really loved the product and the staff.

Supposedly I walked way too quickly off the aircraft and missed my escort and buggy. The E-visa queue was pretty long roughly 45 minutes.

I'll be trying 9W business in November so looking forward to that!
