Everything you need to know about applying for the Nagaland Inner Line Permit — online process, state office locations, documents, and validity.
The Nagaland Inner Line Permit is required for all Indian nationals (except Nagaland state residents) who wish to enter Nagaland. This includes visits to Kohima, Dimapur, the Hornbill Festival venue at Kisama, Dzukou Valley and all other destinations in the state.
The ILP is issued for 15 days by default and can be extended for up to 30 days at the Deputy Commissioner's office in Dimapur or Kohima. For longer stays, an extension is straightforward — present your original ILP and ID at the DC office.
