Serving Alongside International (SAI) hosts short-term mission trips to India. You will have lots of opportunities to invest your talents and skills in the kingdom of God by serving people of India in various ways. We can organize for you leadership conferences, women's seminars, church visits, or meet and encourage orphan kids and widows we support. Your presence can make a difference in the lives of people with your spiritual gifts and compassion services

All people traveling will need a valid Passport and VISA. Please apply for your Passport and Visa at least two months prior to your trip. Tickets will not be booked until you have received both.

You will need a certified copy of your birth certificate for both the Passport and VISA applications.

US Passport If you do not have your American Passport with you yet, you can apply for one online at the US Department of State website. This is the correct site for US Citizens to obtain a passport whether renewing or for the first time. The passport forms on the Embassy of India web site are only for India Citizens.

All India VISA processing is being processed through Cox and Kings Global Service. You must apply online with them at http://www.in.ckgs.us/visa/type-of-visa/tourist-visa.shtml

Applications must be submitted to the proper location for your state. The current list is located at: http://www.in.ckgs.us/indian-embassy-consulate-locations-jurisdiction.shtml at the bottom of the page.

In addition to the traditional Visa application where you must file ahead of time and wait for the Visa to be mailed, there is an option for an on-arrival Visa. You still apply ahead of time and you will need your actual travel dates. However, rather than having the Visa mailed to you, you receive it upon entry to the country.

Cost A standard two-week trip to two or three States is $3200. This covers airfare to/from the US, food, lodging, and transportation in India. Custom itineraries may be developed by request. Please contact us for more information.
