Hi Jill,

The type of visa you apply for should depend on the purpose of your visit. You can read more about the different types of visas available on the Expat Arrivals Visas for India page.

Which ever, visa you go for you can apply at the nearest Indian embassy, it does not have to be in your home country. I am also British and applied for an Indian visa while I was in Sri Lanka.

If you want to save yourself some time you can utilise the services of VFS Global who have been appointed by the Indian government to assist with visas.

I hope this information helps.
