Applications are made online in the standard visa application form (via indianvisaonline.gov.in), and the applicant should be present within the jurisdiction of the Indian Mission/Post concerned when applying and when the visa is granted. Ordinary-passport-holding dependents of diplomats/officials assigned to India (including in UN and non-UN international organisations) may be granted an X-5D visa for an appropriate duration.
