Dutch passport holders need a visa to enter India. Apply for an e-Visa at indianvisaonline.gov.in at least 4 days before travel. The e-Tourist visa costs $25 for 30 days (single/double entry) or $40 for 1 year (multiple entry, 90 days per visit). Processing takes 3 to 5 business days. 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.
Direct flights from Amsterdam Schiphol to Delhi run about 7 hours 45 minutes on KLM and Air India. KLM also flies direct to Mumbai (about 8 hours 30 minutes) and Bangalore (about 10 hours). 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.
Taxis from central Amsterdam cost €35–50 and take 20–35 minutes. Highway A4 is frequently congested during morning rush. Bus 397 runs from Amsterdam Leidseplein to Schiphol (30 min, €5.50) for a cheaper landside alternative.
Ola and Uber are the practical options from BOM. Book from inside the terminal and follow signs to the designated pickup zone. To South Mumbai (Nariman Point/Churchgate), expect ₹400–700 and 45–90 minutes depending on traffic. 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. Flooding of approach roads and reduced visibility cause frequent delays and diversions during July and August. The July 26, 2005 floods are the benchmark for worst-case disruption.
Dry season (November–May) is reliable with warm temperatures (22–35°C) and clear skies. May sees pre-monsoon heat and humidity (32–38°C). Cyclones in the Arabian Sea can affect the region in May–June and October–November. November through February is the most stable period.
