Indian e-visa: where is the immigration office located on Delhi airport?

Indian e-visa: where is the immigration office located on Delhi airport? - Indian male in turban and wristwatch typing on netbook while interacting with happy female coworker with notebook and pen sitting at table in office and looking at each other

I'm arriving at the Delhi airport with e-visa. I'm not going to leave the airport because I will take a domestic flight to a small airport in few hours. I have to have my visa confirmed before I will take the domestic flight.

In order to confirm my visa, I wonder where is the immigration office located on this huge airport. Do I have to walk around and find it, or is it just on the way leaving my terminal?



Best Answer

It's unclear from your question whether you have experience flying internationally or not.

When you arrive at an international airport on a passenger flight from another country, everybody on the plane (even the crew) has to go through immigration. After leaving the plane, you will follow corridors and signs and will be directed toward the immigration desk. There you will usually find huge queues of people (or at least space for huge queues of people, if you're lucky and it isn't busy) where everybody will need to talk to an immigration officer before proceeding to wherever they are going next.

It will be basically impossible (and a serious breach of security) to "miss" going through immigration.

A quick Google search shows that the immigration desk in Delhi looks something like this:
