Visa Regulations
Visa regulations are very complex and vary widely from country to country. Some countries in the region allow visas on arrival, while others do not. Particularly when planning regional travel, you must check the visa regulations for each country you plan to visit. Things to consider include the need for multiple versus single entry, visa validity, and visa type. Be aware that regulations may change without warning, and implementation at ports of entry may be inconsistent. As of December 2009, the Government of India instituted changes in its visa regulations, which now require a gap of two months between visits for those entering the country on a Tourist (T) visa. This requirement may cause difficulty for those planning regional travel. Indian Embassies and Consulates abroad may grant exceptions, but these exceptions are not guaranteed.
Make copies of your passport and visas.
