The Golden Triangle\u2014Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur\u2014is India\u2019s most famous travel circuit, attracting millions of visitors every year. But before you can admire the <strong>Taj Mahal at sunrise<\/strong>, walk through the bazaars of Jaipur, or explore <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.easeindiatrip.com\/india\/delhi\/red-fort\/\">Delhi\u2019s Red Fort<\/a><\/strong>, you need to make sure your paperwork is in order.<\/p>\n<p>Most travelers, whether from the <strong>United States, UK, Canada, Australia, EU countries, or Latin America<\/strong>, must apply for a visa before arriving in India. The process has been made easier with the <strong>Indian e-Visa system<\/strong>, which allows online applications for tourist travel.<\/p>\n<p>However, there are exceptions. Nationals of Nepal and Bhutan don\u2019t need a visa to enter India. Citizens from Japan, South Korea, and the UAE (under certain conditions) may be eligible for Visa on Arrival.
