Visa needed?
Ok, I'm wondering if someone can clear this up for me. I've read some conflicting info.
I'm on a Canadian passport, transiting through DEL for 6 hours. Routing is CPH-DEL-BKK on Air India.
1) Do I need a visa?
2) If I do need a visa, can it be an e-visa, or better yet a visa on arrival?
I've seen info that indicates all entrants need a visa, but I've also found info regarding transit visas, but nothing that seemed direct/accurate enough for me to believe it 100%.

OK so Ill offer up more info just rob be sure. I dont wanna get to India and get sent home!
im on 2 one way tickets. Here they are. Theyre on points if anyone is questioning the strange routing, Im also trying to fly products I never have.
Ticket 1
YVR-SFO-CPH-DEL-BKK (all economy If that matters)
Ticket 2
BKK-KUL-SIN-ICN-LAX-YVR
Does they change anything? Also does anyone have a link to an officia govt site that I might be able to reference? What I saw was mostly from like...ILS or BLS something like that. It almost looked like a visa service site but this is part of why Im asking. I didnt trust it on its own or with the visa sites I looked on.

Be prepared for strange and lengthy transit procedures. Maybe its changed... but we transited BOM a few years ago...and with more than 2 hours...we only just got through in time....so much for a Lounge visit between flights!

Yea, I've got like 6 hours, so I'm not too worried about the time. I was just really concerned when I found out I MIGHT need a visa. I'm usually on top of those things, but this one kinda slipped my mind.
But it sounds like I'm in the clear. Which is great news, cuz there'd only be about 4 business days where I could give up my passport.
