- Arriving at Delhi Airport India from the UK. We had a few issues regarding mums mobility walking chair, but other than that, we arrived in Delhi. In this video, we tell you a few important things you need to know as a foreigner arriving in India.
You must fill in the immigration card before going to immigration. You can get the form either on the plane or use it before immigration. Make sure you have the right visa. Once you pass immigration, you are ready to collect baggages and exit. You may find it easier to get a SIMCARD at the airport. Right next to Costa coffee, you will find the airtel office where you can purchase your SIM card. We paid 450 rupees for a 30-day card. However, the card we were given at the airport did not activate, and we had to go to one of the local offices in Delhi to sort out the problem. There seemed to be a problem with the expiry date, so check this if you buy your SIM card at the airport.
The next very important piece of advice is to AVOID the taxi touts who will most definitely overcharge you. Head to the pre-paid taxi counter. In our video, I show you exactly where this is. Hope you find this useful. The next video coming soon about our first day in India and crashing into a pothole!! Make sure you subscribe to our channel to watch it first.

For my part of the city. We have high speed train from the airport
Do you get an indian phone# with sim sctivated?
thanks so much for your video. it helps a lot to understand where to get a sim card and how to book a taxi. congratulations for your work to help people. i hope you had a great trip. say hello to your parents and your mother
Thank you do much, really appreciate your comment.
Thank you. Very helpful. I was dreading the simcard purchase after reading all kind of stuff on the internet. Will make sure to check the expiry date.
expiry date is irrelevant
the sum that u pay for in the bginning is for validity. which pushes the validity to 30 days of usage it will be active after 30 but without incoming
u can always renew it for validity (within 60 days)
since tourist sims have max active period of 60 days (Which is the max duration india provides tourist visas)
so within 60 days u can re recharge ur sim for use again.
You're welcome!
One of the best videos about arriving in Delhi on TH-cam. Really helped me about how to get WiFi, sim card and other things. Thanks a lot! Quick question: how long did it take for the sim card to get activated? I'll be arriving in Delhi on May 30.
Thanks so much, we are so glad you found our video helpful, it took us around 2 days to get it activated because they sold us a faulty one at the airport. But usually if everything is fine should take a few hours.
Im aussie and my husband is indian, we r visiting india next year with our kids. Brings back lots of memories.
oh awesome where will you be visiting?

Stumbled upon this video while searching for info. on how to obtain a cell phone number and SIM card.
Rs. 450 for unlimited calling across India and 1.5 GB of data per day for 30 days. Is that right? Do they also give an Indian phone number with the SIM? Can we use the SIM in an unlocked phone from abroad (US/Canada/UK) without an issue?
Thanks! Nice video!
Thank you 🙏
thanks so much! this is super helpful
Australian solo traveller coming next month
how long did it take you to clear the airport + sim card from landing?
Glad it was helpful!For us it was pretty quick, depends on your arrival time.
What a useful video, I am going to delhi airport soon, so useful to know where to pick up the 2 most important things - SIM card and transport, the only thing is whether to the airport train to central delhi
Thank you so much, we are glad we could help. We have not taken the train before but have heard it works quite efficiently.
thx for the video, im going to delhi on sunday. "From spain"
Hope you enjoy it!
You have the option in delhi airport which is uber counter and you can book big car at delhi airport.
Hi where is Uber counter to book ? As I heard drivers can scan through the Uber app for intercity
@leonardfarmer5044 I am not sure about the uber counter but there is an area outside of the airport where uber picks you up.
It used to be open means unlocked wifi at IGI.
inside airport but not outside
i saw on the comments that you had a problem to activated the sim card. Do you think it is always like that? how long should take to activated when you get a good one? i work with photography and i need to have the google maps activated as soon as possible to be able to find the places i need. again , thanks so much, you were amazing and so helpful. i heard down here a stupid comment about your accent. Really dont pay attenntion about this people. they probably have a sad life to waste time doing so stupid comment. Congratulations for your video. You help a lot so many people with that
Thank you so much, it is people like you that motivate me to carry on making videos 😊. So to answer your question, I did have another sim card that activated within 30min. Hope your trip goes well, let me know if you have any other questions.
Can you plz let me know that, from where did you have another SIM card? N can you suggest me from where should I purchase the SIM card as a tourist?
Thank you 🙂
Did The sim You bought from airport activate instantly?
No we actually had a problem with the sim so we went to the nearest branch of airtel and they managed the issue. After that it took a few hours to get activated.
Thank you for your tips and it's going to be really helpful for us.....going to be there in July as first time. More tips would be appreciated 🤗
Delhi, Shirdi and Mumbai...please😊
Glad it was helpful! and have a great time in India

GOOD I DONT USE MOBILE TO OLD MAN 70
Theis no customer service very poor
yes were a bit disappointed as they sold us an expired card !!
She is trying her best to perfect that accent . But looks fake . Not working for her
Another troll 😀
@@travelingbambinos keep saying this to people who criticizes you . good to satisfy your ego .
Funny witnessing desis living abroad acting more foreign than foreigners
Don’t really understand your comment!
Nice video but it is so painful to see a brown trying the heavy british accent.
Glad you liked the video but I am not sure about your comment on the ‘brown trying the heavy British accent’!! If you are referring to myself then yes I am of Indian origin born in England, so yes that means I have a British accent ;)
What the hell do you mean by that? Brown and British accent 🤔
Grow up and develop your common sense 😮
@@travelingbambinos Meh.. Don't pay attention to haters. Be proud of your British accent and your Indian background. You are one of the lucky few who can party in both countries by adopting the appropriate lingo and style. Oh.. and this was a very helpful video especially the wifi part.
Thank you so much ☺️
@@travelingbambinos ya ignore such idiotic comments. That guy is total ignorant if not idiot to make such comments. Happy to see your kids are smiling throughout the video, my daughter started crying when she came out of the airport due to hot weather. ya but next minute she was happy to chase a stray dog and tried petting.
And video is useful, I'll get eSIM from airport this time.
