Q.23.How do I make or change an appointment?
-
You will only need an appointment if you are planning on applying in person at a CKGS Application Centers. It is highly recommended to ship your application as this helps avoid driving and waiting times, parking charges and traffic as well as helps with easy tracking.
- If you are a NEW APPLICANT, you would have to complete the full application process and the ‘Appointment’ page is within the online flow on the CKGS website.
Do not go directly to the Government of India website to fill the online application form but you must go via the links on the CKGS website provided below. You will be guided to the Government of India website to fill your online form/s at the appropriate step via the CKGS website.
For USA applicants, the CKGS website has been customized so that the supplementary documents, forms and letters requirements are as per the instructions of the Embassy of India in USA. Simply fill in the widget and it will guide you through the entire application process.
The rules on the CKGS website will identify your visa category, type, duration, fees and help avoid errors. Further to assist you, many forms and letters that have repetitive information will get auto populated and you only have to fill in the missing fields.
