India Visa service: Anyone use WPVS or Travisa Outsourcing?
DH and I are going to India in April and need to get visas. I found Travisa Outsourcing that says that they are consultants for the Indian Government (I don't know if that is a good thing or not). They want $76 for a six month, multiple entry tourist visa. https://indiavisa.travisaoutsourcing.com/homepage
Our friends recommended WPVS, but they want $200 for the same visa. http://www.wpvs.com/
Has anyone used either of these services?
Thank You!

Are you in the US? If so, you cannot get your visa from the Indian Embassy, you must go through Travisa, as you have discovered. There is no reason to use another visa service like WPVS - you just pay more for the same thing. I used Travisa a couple of years ago to get mine. I got excellent service from them.
Is there any chance you will go to India again in the next 10 years? If you might, get a 10 year visa rather than a 6 month visa.

As Kathie says, you have no choice about using Travisa. I had no problems getting a 10 year Indian visa through them, although I believe the forms have gotten more complicated since I applied. That is not Travisa's fault.

It's an online application, and hovering your cursor over a blank give you more detail about what to put in the blank. I found it exceptionally well-organized and I loved the fact that you can track the progress of your visa application online.

They are hit or miss it seems. We had a terrible time two yrs. ago getting a visa for India for my naturalized Indian wife, so much so that we are using a lawyer to get her an OCI visa. It was a complete hassle with misinformation, contradictions and arrogance. Sorry but this is just the way it was.

I just used Travisa Outsourcing. I filled out the application online - sent it in via my own fedex label. Received an email the day they received it. And less then a week later I received confirmation that it's in the mail - confirmed visa and all. Cost me $100 (for 1 visa). I recommend them.
