You can’t travel abroad without a visa. But what is a visa anyway? Well, if you have plans of traveling to India, you must get an India travel visa.
Visa is a stamp, an official stamp, from the high commission or embassy in your traveling document or passport. It authorizes you and other travelers to go to India (or any other country) for a specific period and purpose. Take note of the word 'official'. You see, there are a lot of scammers out there who are able to go out of the country and enter into another without having an official visa.
What can happen if you don’t have an official India visa? Your entry to India may be denied by the authorities. If in case you're able to enter the India and later on your entry was discovered, you can be repatriated.
