How to reach Andaman Islands

By Flight: There are flights operating on an everyday basis from Chennai, Kolkatta, Mumbai and Bangalore, both direct and connecting flights to Port Blair city – Veer Savarkar Airport.

By Sea: You can even travel by ship to Port Blair and the same is available from Chennai, Kolkatta and Vishakapatnam. However we do recommend the same since these are no luxury cruises but ships which offer only basic amenities also takes about 2-3 days or more, subject to weather and sea condition to reach.

Is Passport Required For Andaman and Nicobar Islands?

Visa requirements

For an Indian national any valid ID proof (Aadhar/Driving license/Passport or Election ID) is enough to enter Andamans.

For Foreign travellers/PIO/OCI/NRI valid Indian visa is required to reach Andaman and will also require RAP (restricted Access Permit) to enter Port Blair and the same is issued at the airport on arrival and there are no charges for the same and it takes approximately 20 minutes
