Who Can Avail the NRI Darshan at Tirumala?
The TTD NRI Darshan is specially designed for:
- Foreign copyright holders
- Indian copyright holders with a valid foreign visa
- Devotees who have entered India within the last 30 days from the date stamped on their copyright
Important: If your visa arrival date exceeds 30 days, you will NOT be allowed to use the NRI Darshan counter at Tirumala. The verification process at the temple is very strict and your copyright and visa will be checked at the entrance.
Why is the 30 Day Rule So Important for NRI Darshan?
The 30 day rule for NRI Darshan at Tirumala is enforced for good reasons:
- To ensure that the NRI Darshan quota is used only by genuine international visitors and not by long-term residents who live abroad but frequently visit India.
- To maintain shorter, faster queues for NRI devotees, ensuring that those coming from overseas can complete darshan smoothly.
- To manage the crowd efficiently during peak seasons, festivals, and weekends.
Knowing these guidelines helps you plan your NRI Tirumala Darshan Package correctly without any last-minute disappointments.
