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.

The emergency services offered by the American Embassy include:

assistance to American citizens arrested in India

if an American citizen becomes ill or dies in India
emergency transfer of funds
access to list of lawyers and doctors in India
replacement of lost or stolen passport (within office hours)

Unless there’s an emergency, appointments are required. The American Citizens Services are available Monday to Friday from 9:00 am to 12:30 pm. The Embassy and consulates are closed on the American and Indian holidays and on the last Wednesday of every month.
