In theory we have to clear customs to collect our luggage before checking in for the Colombo flight. Do we need a visa for this? Some say yes and some say no.
There is nothing on the Mumbai airport website for Int'l - Int'l transit that is actually useful.
I do not want to spend £100+ for a visa to spend three hours in an airport if I don't have to.
you have to get a visa....the options would be a transit visa or a visa on arrival, depending on your citizenship....you have to apply for one atleast 4 days before you leave though....
