Hi guys, I’m currently filling out the Indian e-visa application for my upcoming trip in November. \n\nI am flying from London (LHR) to Mumbai (BOM) where I have a short 2-hour layover, and then connecting immediately to Goa (GOI). The form asks for “Port of Arrival”. \n\nShould I put Mumbai (my first point of landing) or Goa (my actual final destination)? I am worried because the 2-hour connection is already tight, and I don’t want to explain visa errors at immigration. Has anyone navigated this specific route recently?
Logic check: You must list Mumbai (BOM) as your port of arrival. That is where you physically enter the country and where immigration procedures execute.
One major heads-up: 2 hours for international-to-domestic transfer in Mumbai is pushing to prod without testing. You have to clear immigration, collect bags (usually), clear customs, and re-check for the domestic leg. If the incoming flight has even a minor latency, you will miss the connection. Move fast. Optimized code only.
