Upload a passport photo and a scan of your passport bio page. Payment by credit card. A traditional sticker visa through the Indian Embassy in The Hague costs EUR 82 and takes 5 to 10 working days.
Passport must be valid for at least 6 months with two blank pages. The e-Visa approval comes by email as a PDF. Print it and carry it along with your passport. e-Visa holders enter through 28 designated airports (all major ones: Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Goa, Kochi, Jaipur, Ahmedabad). On arrival, go to the e-Visa counter at immigration, where your biometrics are taken.

India uses the Indian rupee (INR), trading at roughly 95 INR per EUR 1. ATMs are everywhere but sometimes reject foreign cards, so carry a backup card. No mandatory vaccinations. Indian SIM cards require passport copies and a photo, available at airport Airtel or Jio counters for INR 200 to INR 500 with data.
Intercity and Sprinter trains run directly to Schiphol Plaza (the station is inside the terminal) from Amsterdam Centraal every 10–15 minutes (15 min, €5.70). The Intercity Direct from Rotterdam takes 43 minutes (€17.40 with supplement). Trains from The Hague take 35–45 minutes.

To Bandra or Juhu, ₹200–350 in 20–40 minutes.Pre-paid taxis from the terminal cost slightly less but use older vehicles. Mumbai Local trains are accessible via auto-rickshaw to Andheri station (10 min, ₹80–100) then Western Line to Churchgate (50 min, ₹25); inexpensive but impractical with large luggage. Terminal 2 (international) and Terminal 1 (domestic) are adjacent but separate buildings.
Tropical monsoon climate. The Southwest Monsoon (June–September) brings some of the heaviest urban rainfall in the world. Mumbai regularly receives 2,000–3,000mm per season.
