Nationals of India with a confirmed onward air or cruise ticket to a third country within 96 hours under the Visa Free Transit Facility (VFTF). They must:
- have an entry visa issued by Australia, Canada, Germany, Japan, New Zealand, Switzerland, USA or United Kingdom valid for a minimum of one month, and
- have documents required for the next destination.
