Start with the route facts first: citizenship, residence, application country, destination and purpose. Then review the document rows and order processing only where the row says it is required or optional.
Document requirements
| Document | Status | Scope | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Employer or appointed-agent online application | required | visa application | Use EP eService on myMOM Portal, separate application for each dependant; employer turnover information for the preceding three years must be updated. Apply with the main EP or later. Dependant can remain in India until approval. |
| Dependant passport particulars-page copy | required | visa application | For a child sharing a parent passport, also include the parent personal-particulars page. |
| Marriage-certificate copy for spouse | conditional | visa application | For the legally married spouse branch only. |
| Official birth certificate naming parents | conditional | visa application | For the unmarried biological child under 21 branch. |
| Adoption order or relevant adoption documents | conditional | visa application | For a legally adopted unmarried child under 21. |
| CDA Verification of Vaccination Requirements document | conditional | visa application | For foreign-born children aged 12 or below applying for new DP, including expired/cancelled DP beyond 30 days. Existing DP, LTVP and Student Pass holders do not need this document. Use the CDA portal linked by MOM for actual verification format; its full upload checklist was not retrievable, so none is invented. |
| In-principle approval and later issuance | conditional | visa application | After approval, print/send the IPA; for EP dependants it contains a pre-approved single-entry visa and allows six months to enter and get the pass issued. MOM advises travel after approval. Issuance, any medical declaration and biometrics follow the actual IPA/notification, not a universal initial application bundle. |
