| Valid passport Must be valid for 6 months beyond stay | Your passport needs at least 6 months of validity from your planned departure date from India. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |

| Proof of funds Recommended to carry | Carry evidence of sufficient funds — a bank statement showing at least $300–$500 for a short trip, or a credit card with a reasonable limit. Officers rarely ask, but it helps if they do. | Recommended |
