Indian Honorary Consulate in the Gambia

India has an honorary consulate in Banjul; honorary consulates handle emergencies and simple certifications rather than visas or passports.

Citizens of the Gambia need an e-Visa for India, applied for online before travel and valid for up to 30 days. The application is made online on the official portal of India, not at a mission.

The Gambia has no mission in India on record; citizens of the Gambia there would be served by an embassy accredited from another country.
