Indian consulates

← All resources

Indian embassies, high commissions and consulates help Indian citizens and people of Indian origin abroad with passports, OCI cards, visas, document attestation and emergencies. Below are the official websites of the Indian missions in the countries where our members live, plus the main online services.

Please note: addresses, opening hours and procedures change. Always check your mission’s official website (ending .gov.in) before you visit. Many missions use an outsourced service centre (such as VFS Global or BLS International) to take applications. Only use the provider your mission’s website names, and be wary of agents claiming to be “official”. Last checked: 16 October 2026.
