Visiting family in Mumbai
The detail that matters when this is a family trip, not a holiday
How this trip usually works
Mumbai is an important family-visit destination for North West-based travellers, not just a business or stopover city. IndiGo launched a Manchester–Mumbai service in July 2025 with the region's large Indian diaspora among the intended audiences.
Documents & entry
OCI (Overseas Citizen of India) cardholders do not require a separate visa. Standard e-Tourist or e-Business visas apply to other UK passport holders; apply at least 4 days ahead, and earlier still during Diwali or December.
Check your travel readinessBaggage & packing
For any itinerary from Manchester, check the current baggage allowance directly with the operating airline rather than assuming it matches a full-service carrier's standard. Allowances and any extra-baggage charges can differ from the Heathrow route's operators.
Key travel periods
Worth planning around if your dates fall within one of these windows
DiwaliChristmas–New YearUK 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.
