Pakistani Traveler’s 10-Hour Mumbai Transit Goes Viral for Smooth Experience

Her video underscores that airside transit in India is allowed without a visa for those who do not clear immigration.

Overview

  • The traveler, identified on Instagram as @Wanzipa, documented a layover en route from London to Nepal through Mumbai’s international terminal.
  • She said there was no immigration check because she stayed inside the terminal, which kept her trip within transit rules for Pakistani passport holders.
  • Airport staff asked her to remove a power bank from checked baggage after a security alert, a standard rule that allows power banks only in cabin bags.
  • She credited prior confirmation from IndiGo for peace of mind, saying the airline told her transit is permitted as long as passengers remain airside.
  • The clip drew large engagement across Indian outlets, with NDTV noting more than 909,000 views as coverage highlighted her positive account and a caveat about longer, roughly 24-hour layovers.
