SQ408 tends to carry lots of pax from ANZ into India - I always smile at the number of QFF tags on bags!
When I checked in for the flight the checkin agent still checked that I had a visa (which I do) but it somewhat surprised me since I travel on a NZ passport...
Hmmm.. i had taken VOA once when I was returning from SYD to CCU and it was pretty simple then.. IIRC, I didnt need any photos or max 1 photo, just had to fill out a form within 10 mins everything was done..Maybe things hv changd for the worse in the last 3 yrs.. I used it within the 1st month it started sometime in Sep - Oct 2005..
