Pilgrimage Tours
A Vibedu venture
The one document every traveller needs before setting foot on the islands.
Lakshadweep is a protected Union Territory, and an entry permit is mandatory for every visitor — including Indian nationals. The permit exists to safeguard the islands' fragile ecology and tribal communities, so it must be arranged in advance rather than on arrival. Holiday Vibez assists with and arranges the permit as part of your package, though issuance is always subject to government approval. This guide explains who needs it, the documents involved, the realistic timeline and how the process works.
Finalise your islands, dates and travellers so the permit can be applied for against a confirmed itinerary.
Collect ID proof, passport photos and a police clearance certificate for every member of your group.
We help compile and submit the permit application to the authorities about 15–30 days before departure.
The application is processed by the administration. Issuance is subject to government approval and timelines can vary.
Once granted, carry the permit and matching ID throughout your trip and present it when required.

Everyone does. There is no exemption for Indian citizens — a valid entry permit is required to visit any island in Lakshadweep. Foreign nationals face additional restrictions and a separate process, so overseas travellers should confirm requirements well ahead of booking.
The standard documentation for the entry permit typically includes:
Requirements can change, so we confirm the exact list against current rules when you book.
Permits are not instant. Applications are generally made around 15–30 days before travel to allow the administration time to process them. Because approval rests entirely with the authorities, we always recommend applying early and keeping your dates flexible where possible.
As part of your package we help compile your documents and arrange the permit application on your behalf. To be clear and honest: we assist with the process, but we cannot guarantee, fast-track or expedite a permit — issuance is subject to government approval. Our role is to make the paperwork straightforward and submitted correctly and on time.
A little care keeps everything smooth and respects the islands:
Thousands of families and couples across South India have travelled with us — here's what a few of them had to say.
From the 30-minute callback to our private villa in Ubud, every little detail was handled. Our guide even arranged a surprise candle-lit dinner on the beach. Zero stress — pure magic.
Travelling with my parents and two kids, I was nervous. Holiday Vibez planned every single day perfectly, and the Alleppey houseboat was the highlight. We are already planning our next trip with them.
Best price I found anywhere, and the desert safari and Burj Khalifa tickets were all sorted before we even landed. The team was on WhatsApp whenever I had a question.
The Gulmarg gondola, the shikara ride on Dal Lake — exactly like the photos, no surprises at all. By the end of the trip our driver felt like family.
Booked a fairly last-minute Phuket trip and they still got me a great deal with visa help included. Honest, smooth and genuinely helpful people.
Scuba at Havelock was a dream come true. Every transfer and every hotel was exactly as promised. Worth every rupee, and I have already recommended them to friends.
