An Indian Emergency Travel Certificate is issued in New Zealand to citizens facing urgent travel needs to India. Eligibility requires a genuine emergency, such as attending a court case, deportation from New Zealand without a valid visa, a close relative's critical illness, or attending the funeral of a close relative. Critically, your passport must be expired, lost, damaged, or stolen. This certificate facilitates a one-way journey to India only and is not valid for travel to any other country. To apply, you must meet these eligibility criteria and submit the required forms and supporting documents to the relevant Indian diplomatic mission in New Zealand. These documents typically include proof of identity, evidence of the expired, lost, damaged, or stolen passport, and documentation supporting the emergency, such as medical certificates or court documents. Depending on the circumstances, affidavits and a personal interview with a passport officer may also be necessary. After a complete application is submitted, the mission will process your request. Processing times can vary, generally taking from a few days to a couple of weeks. The issued emergency travel certificate will be couriered to you.
