ShenzhenGuide to Applying for an Indian Visa

Shenzhen applicants are processed by the Guangzhou consular district (Consulate General of India in Guangzhou). Given the high volume of travel for consumer electronics, cross-border e-commerce, and hardware export companies to India for exhibitions and factory audits, documents can be mailed directly to the Guangzhou Operations Center, eliminating the need for multiple round trips.
