All international travelers to India must obtain a visa prior to arrival.

Be sure it is suitable for India, as India sockets accept round 3 pin plugs that are similar but not identical to European plugs.
MONEY AND TIPPING
The Indian currency is the Rupee (Rs).

The rupee is split into the following denominations: Rs 2000, 500, 100, 200, 50, 20, 10 and 5.
