Antarctica entry requirements for Indians

Do I need a visa for Antarctica?

Antarctica itself does not require a visa. You may need a visa for the country from which your expedition departs, as well as countries you transit through. Check those requirements for your Indian passport and itinerary before booking.

What should I check before booking?

• Entry and transit rules for every country on your route.
• Your expedition operator's authorizations and passenger document checklist.
• Travel insurance and the operator's conditions for your expedition.
