Visiting family in Amritsar

The detail that matters when this is a family trip, not a holiday

How this trip usually works

Amritsar is the most direct route for the UK's Punjabi diaspora visiting family or attending religious occasions. Trips often combine a family stay with a Golden Temple visit, and timing around Baisakhi or Diwali is common.

Documents & entry

OCI cardholders do not require a separate visa; other UK passport holders need the standard e-Visa, applied for at least 4 days ahead.

Check your travel readiness

Baggage & packing

Air India's direct Amritsar service (London Gatwick) does not operate daily, so confirm specific flight days before assuming a non-stop option exists on your preferred date — and check whether a Birmingham, Leeds Bradford or Manchester departure would mean a connecting itinerary instead.

Key travel periods

Worth planning around if your dates fall within one of these windows

BaisakhiDiwaliUK summer holidays

Visa and identity document requirements change. Always confirm directly with the relevant high commission, embassy, or NADRA/OCI portal before booking, rather than relying on a previous trip.
