Ok, I am a British citizen. I am currently in Ottawa. I am supposed to do some major last minute work in Hyderabad in India next week.

I need a visa for this...but it is kinda hard to get as I have no time to visit an embassy. I have people on the case majorly phoning round but as a random call for help - anyone know any quick ways to get a visa for two weeks in India?

Sorry. Completely random.

Nothing helfpul here, other than to say that I want your job.

You'd need to visit your local Indian High Commission and queue - for a long time. You'd need to set aside a day for it, as Indian bureaucracy is an art and they've exported it to embassies and commission offices all over the country. I don't think you'll get one by post within a week.

Can't you go today? Now? If it's work, won't they give you time to go?

Both times I had to get a visa for India, I handed in my documents in the morning at the consulate and then went back to collect them at the end of the day, or the next day. I didn't have to hang around physically, iirc.

Thank Xoc. Sounding a wee bit more promising.

The Edinburgh Consulate is small and was not very busy of course. That might have played a part.

Ok. I am officially screwed. Takes five days to process a visa for a UK citizen in Canada. Ho hum.

Thanks for all the help and sorry about posting completely random panic stricken posts.

Yo.
