I'm a US citizen (if that matters) looking at doing a MR from ORD-DEL two weekends in a row. Each weekend, I would be in India for 30 hours and stay overnight at a hotel near the airport and then head back to ORD. What kind of visa should I use? Will a transit visa work in this case? I know I've read some posts about issues with tourist visas and multiple entries within 2 or 3 months.

Thanks in advance,

I am not sure if transit visa will get you 30 hour access.
At any rate, you cannot enter, exit and re-enter India two weekends in a row unless you have a Business visa.
Its the new visa rules with tourism.
