Foreigner marrying Indian girl
Hello I'm planning to marry an Indian girl, on August 3rd. I am a Lithuanian and we are going to marry(Christian marriage) in India(Punjab). My questions would be: Which documents(passport, single status certificate, birth certificate...) are needed to legally register the marriage in India(do they have to be apostilled?) Is one month visa enough? Do I need any vaccine besides covid 19 to enter the country? I tried to pay for consultation but I can't see any available option in my country that i could pay with etc using debit card or paypal.
