Do I need a visa to fly from Columbus to India?
US passport holders need either an Indian visa, usually the e-Visa applied for online before travel, or an OCI card; OCI holders do not need a visa. Your passport must be valid for at least six months beyond your arrival date. Airlines check both at check-in and deny boarding for a passport that expires too soon, so check the expiry before you confirm a reservation.
