The nearest station, Andheri, is accessible by bus and taxi from the airport for train services to Churchgate Station in downtown Mumbai. Although this is an option during off-peak times, it would not be practical to travel on this train service with luggage during morning and evening rush hours.
The Metro Line 1 that opened in 2014 is a line that runs only past the north side of the airport. Airport Road Metro Station that is the closest station is about 2 km north of the terminal and connects to the above Andheri Station. Line 3 from the airport to the city is under construction and is scheduled to open in 2021.
There are no city buses which go directly from the airport to the Mumbai city center without transfer, nor are there any shuttle buses or coaches which call at city hotels. There are multiple city buses from the airport terminal to the nearest train station (Andheri Station), but all of them require transfers or walking connections, so there is no direct route between the airport terminal and the station.
Passengers who would like to travel to a third country via India will require a transit visa. Up to 2 transfers are permitted within the 3-month validity period, with a maximum stay of 3 days in each Indian city.
If a passenger holding a tourist visa departs India within the 6-month validity period, re-entry into India shall not be permitted for 2 months. If a passenger want to re-enter within 2 months he must make a special application. A variety of visas are provided for India, depending on the frequency, duration and purpose of visits. Please confirm the type of visa that corresponds with your itinerary and purpose of visit. Note: Visa information is continually being updated. For the latest information, please visit the India Visa Application Center.
The Indian government has introduced an electronic tourist visa issuing system—Tourist Visa on Arrival (TVoA) enabled with Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA).
Passengers wishing to use the electronic tourist visa issuing system must apply via the Indian Ministry of Home Affairs at least 4 days prior to entering in India.
Japanese passport holders may obtain a visa on arrival in India even if they do not hold an ETA.
Please check the website of Bureau of Immigration in India for more information.
