The Last Pre-Trip Detail!???

Passports off for India Visas!

Hopefully, getting our Visas for India will be the last detail!  But, of course with some of the areas we'll be traveling through, we may get some last minute notices of changes and have to rethink that statement!

We get our Visas indirectly from Regent.  Most they take care of (included in the fare) and some, albeit included, we do the paperwork.  India is the only one on this trip.  Today, we sent all the necessary documents to Visa Central which Regent has paid to do all the details!  YEAH!  We don't deal directly with the embassies or consulates!  And, most importantly, Visa Central will let us know if we missed anything in the application before it goes to the Consulate!

After having gone through this process for China & Brazil, I was surprised how complicated the India visa acquisition is!!  Or, maybe, I forgot!!

Visa Central has been superb!!  I had some questions that I couldn't find answers to and called the number in the Application package.  The young lady I spoke with was extremely kind, answered all my questions and went, in my opinion, above and beyond her call of duty.  If we needed visas for any other trip that didn't include the service, we would use them!

Having sent all the paperwork via UPS today, it should be back by August 21st, 28th at the latest!  Plenty of time before we leave home on October 9th!

WHEEE!  Only 9 weeks from tomorrow!!
