American Embassy & Consulates in India
Generally speaking, when an American citizen needs the help of the American Embassy, something went terribly wrong. Hopefully that won’t be the case during your visit in India, but make sure to keep this information handy.
The American Embassy in New Delhi and the Virtual Consulate Bangalore, the Consulates General in Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata and Mumbai are meant to offer assistance to the US citizens living in India and those traveling to India.
