In my past experience when traveling to India the airline would check the visa pretty thoroughly before allowing one to board. I assume most airlines have gotten the memo on TVOA by now, just curious if anyone has experienced any issues with this.
i helped my daughter apply on line...lots of questions and 2 uploads but the visa approval was received in 14 hours.
she flew by BA and they asked for a copy of the approval-email at check-in
she landed at BANgalore - very smooth, no delays or issues.
this TVoA is SUPER....why second best- i have travel many countries requiring visa...so far australia was the best and still is....they have electronic visa and the application was simpler and no photo upload.....india now second in my experience only because it needs a bit more work and a couple of tricky question.
KUDOS to the indian visa system...a load off after the bad news from outsourcing companies.
