• Hey Jonny

  I went to Kota Bharu last year (near the Thai Border) and it has a population of 95% Muslims. So the only places I could have a beer was at Chinese Street food restaurants that serve up tall bottles of Tiger beer.

  I never bothered bringing Alcohol into Brunei in 2015 as I had to show my life-saving medicines to a guy with a badge and a gun on the border. Glad I didn’t need a permit for that.

• What’s the point of having an online application process if you have to fill out an application form from scratch at the designated locations, anyway? Man, they really don’t want tourists drinking in this state. Do they? Crazy.

• Hey Martin, that sounds like a cool thing to do for sure. Never heard of Kota Bharu, might be worth a jaunt sometime. Wow – Brunei was an easy option when I was there – bought my booze in Labuan. Safe travels. Jonny

• Hi Ray, yes it’s a bit odd. I didn’t hear about anyone using the online permit, and it hasn’t really been covered by travel bloggers before so I wanted to make sure I tried both methods to ensure I could write about it and help others. I’m glad that I found out the online one was not important. It’s Gandhi’s state and it also borders dry Pakistan, so I’m not surprised it’s alcohol free, but it was still nice to have a beer there. Safe travels. Jonny

• Liquor permit? What permit for so called a “strictest dry state” where millions of litres of foreign brand liquors are being sold and consumed unofficially!!

  This is a beyond jokes and for the state they are loosing revenue in process.

  Wake up the administrators. It is about time to bring the changes. OR at least make life easier for the tourist with foreign passport holders. Majority, if not hundred percent of them are not criminals.

  Make the application simpler and carry the passport identity with it while traveling/staying in Gujarat. That should be good enough.

• Hi Lallubhai J Patel, as a tourist I totally respect the liquor permit idea and I actually enjoy the process of trying to get one sorted. I see it as an adventure. Best wishes and safe travels. Jonny

• Hello if my parents are staying at their parents home address. how would we provide proof of address?

• Hi Mrs Patel – it’s fine – just put that address down. I made up an address! Safe travels. Jonny

• Hi Jonny,

  I am travelling to Surat on 20th Dec. I have applied for liquor permit and document is with me.

  Now where i have present this document? Any of the 35 shops listed in the site? Or is there any specific centres for that? Please advice.

• After stamped and signed on e permit by authorities, can we purchase alcohol from outside of Gujarat.. Like Daman or Mumbai???

• Hi Mathe, thanks for the comment and I hope you have a safe trip to Surat, all the information is here: . https://dontstopliving.net/how-to-get-an-alcohol-permit-at-the-grand-bhagwati-hotel-in-ahmedabad-gujarat-state-india/ Safe travels. Jonny

• Hi Yatin, thanks for the comment. I am not sure about those two regions in India as they all have their own laws. Mumbai has plenty of bars and alcohol licensed venues anyway and I didn’t visit Daman. This article refers to Gujarat only. Safe travels. Jonny

• i have my photo uploaded onto my laptop, how do i reduce it to 200kb

• Can i just turn up to any of these places with my passport, my eticket and get a permit. Thanks

• Hi Sunil, thanks for the comment. Just follow the guide in my post and you can get the permit. Make sure you have everything they ask for, more than just 3 things though so research in advance and good luck. Safe travels. Jonny

• Hi Sunil, Thanks for the comment. I can’t help you with that – this was just a guide to getting the online permit! Safe travels and good luck. Jonny

• No Yatin. With the permit, you are allowed to buy liquor only from licensed shops within Gujarat. You cannot buy it from outside and carry into Gujarat

• Hi Siddarth, thanks for the update and safe travels. Jonny

• Are you a nut case to advertise for this stupid web site? I am looking for options for applying on line for bloody permit but nothing there except your experience and life. Who wants to know about your experience? Why there
  All rubbish on this sitte except an answer for application? I hope you stop cheating and wasting time.

• Hey Jonny, your information has been very valuable and easy to follow – so THANK YOU!

  Just one thing, it does not ask for photo (passport photo) to be uploaded, or did I miss a step. I now have the permit (just like your one) but without the photo – I guess ill have to take along photos when I get the permit verified. Or have I completed this incorrectly. Many thanks Raj

• Hi, what about the approximate prices of the beer at approved locations, highly inflated due to restrictions or normal rates?

• Hi Krank, as mentioned in my other posts, the alcohol in Gujarat was not totally dear – easily affordable even for a tight assed backpacker. Safe travels. Jonny

• Mr. Blair,
  The enforcement policies are definitely changing with time and technology. Gujarat is dry state and many other states are following the footsteps. Your experience is valuable for others including Gujaratis (it’s funny), but it’s more educational to all. Thanks for your blog on it.

• Note:
  1. They do not give permit on ticket which do not contain tourist name on ticket.
  2. They do not give permit on BUS ticket which has name written by pen. Some travel company has bill printed ticket on which they write tourist name while issue ticket. TGB and Ramada do not give permit on this kind of ticket.. They want computer printed tourist name on ticket.

  My permit rejected with above both reason and now waiting for 3rd time rejection with some other reason. TGB (the grand bhagwait and Ramada both has rejected my online permit).

• Hi SS Chavda – sounds like a fake name and address! This website is my website of my travels, so I can do what I want with it. I don’t criticise you, your journey or your website and considering I suffer from depression and suicidal thoughts, you’d be better to keep your opinions to yourself. If I kill myself and blame you – I hope your parents and friends see what you have done to me. Safe travels. Jonny

• After applying for d permit online. Can I carry 750 ml for my personal use

• Hi Bharat yes of course as long as it is within the date of the permit and you don’t break the rules on the permit. Safe travels. Jonny

• Hi Mahendrasingh, thanks for the comment and apologies for late reply. I have stopped blogging here since December to concentrate on fixing my depression. I hope you all get your permit sorted. Safe travels. Jonny

• Hi Nilesh, thanks for the comment and apologies for late reply. I have stopped blogging here since December to concentrate on fixing my depression. I hope you all get your permit sorted. Safe travels. Jonny

• the issue of liquor permit to non-resident Indian passport holders are not issued / refused. The NRI of Gujarat needs this permit. Can someone suggest as is that is the law in force now or some office in India / official website issues such permits on verification of documents.

• Hi Jonny, can pls direct me with liquor permit. I have applied , received permit number and printed the sheet. However the permit says “pending status” and payment mode says “offline”. Please guide me is it valid permit and also is it free or do I need to reapply and do payment?

  Must appreciate and thanks in advance

• Hi Kamini, I don’t actually work for them I am just a tourist like you, and a travel writer who wants others to explore the world. This was a good and happy time for me. I wish you a safe and happy trip. Jonny

• Hi Vijay, as stated, I am only a tourist and travel writer and have no authority on this, please check the correct channels. Safe travels. Jonny

• For travellers who intend to stay in Gujarat for more than one month I want to share my experience with getting a subsequent permit. As per the information of the liquor shop/permit agent in Dahej there is no way to get a second permit after the first one-month permit has expired. The crucial date is the date of entry into India (Gujarat), which they easily see from the passport. You have to apply for the permit within 4 weeks after entry otherwise the permit will be refused. The tourist permit can only be issued for one month, so if you want to stay longer in Gujarat you should consider to stay dry for the first week(s) and apply for the permit later. For holder of business or employment visa (6 months or longer) there is a possibilty to ask for a long-term permit at the excise office of the district. I haven’t done that yet so I cannot give any information how or if that will work.
  For the tourist permit you just need to show passport, passport copy, letter from the hotel or employer stating temporary address, no photos needed.

• Hi Raj, thanks for the comment. When I applied in March 2016, I needed a photo – perhaps things have changed since then. I hope you get sorted and enjoy your time in Gujarat. Safe travels. Jonny

• Hi Martin, thanks for the comment and update. I was only in this province for a few days so literally just needed a quick carryout, I can imagine others linger longer and may need month long, or even longer permits. Good luck and safe travels. Jonny

• Hi Jonny
  Hope you are fine and planning another travel. Be positive….be happy.

• Hi Anil. Thanks for the comment. Sadly I am not fine, struggling with depression, trying to keep myself alive. Best wishes. Jonny

• Hi Jonny,

  You shared good travel experience.
  Your blogs will be helpful to lot of people.

  Overcome depression you surely can.

  All best!

• Hi Rajiv, thanks for the comment and support. I hope so. Regards, Jonny

• I uploaded my documents voter id, driving licence, train tickit, temporary address but temporary address not showing in the permit, will they approve my permit or not.

• Hi Guys,
  I have applied for online e permit, but I am not getting any verification code.
  what should I do now?

• Hi Sunil. Go to church and pray you get it. That would be my tip! If not, head to the Grand Bhagwati Hotel like I did. Safe travels, Jonny

• Hi Jonny
  Trying to upload my passport for the liquor permit online application but for some reason when I take a picture of my passport and click submit I just get a message saying please upload passport.
  Any tips on getting through this

• Hi Vishal, I am not sure about that – contact them on email to check it or just wait until you backpack it to Gujarat and do what I did by getting your permit there. Safe travels. Jonny

• I need alcohole permit in gujrat how can i do??

• Sp Bodar, are you serious? Read my post, follow my ideas and get the permit! Safe travels. Jonny

• Hey Jonny,

  Trust you doing better. First of all, excellent post. Very detailed and perhaps the only one with such information. Not even official sites has details and queries answered.

  So, asking this question because it wasn’t mentioned in the article or questions. The online permit as you mentioned is ‘Pending Verification’ till we visit a physical permit shop. So, can one carry alcohol (like duty free or 750 ml for personal consumption) with the e-permit? Or Did you bring alcohol to Gujarat through railway station with ePermit – Pending physical verification?

  Thanks & Take Care.
  Cheers,

• Hey plz suggest me I am banker I am gov servent I am not state gov employees I am central gov employees here . Can I get liquor Permit ? Bcoz I Am not belong to Gujarat I residence of Rajasthan

• Hi Arun, thanks for the comment. In March 2016 when I whackpacked Gujarat, yes, I could get one and so could you but these days, I don’t know if the laws have changed or not. Best wishes. Jonny

• Hi Delinx, thanks for the comment. In March 2016 when I whackpacked Gujarat, yes, I could bring alcohol in with me without being checked and so could you but these days, I don’t know if the laws have changed or not. There were no border checks. But don’t drink it in public. The fact was, I didn’t want to bring any alcohol in with me, I wanted to go through the process of getting the permit, buying it and drinking it. Best wishes. Jonny

• Hi Sumit, as I mentioned, I am just a tourist like you also so I cannot help you – you will need to contact the embassies and issuers of these permits. Best of luck, safe travels. Jonny

• I would like to have. Alcohol permit. For. Gujrwt. For six months. From. U k

• How do I get. Forms. To get. I tried Indian. Embassy. But not joy

• Hi Bhupendra, thanks for the comment. You checked my posts right? This is not about Indian visas or embassy! This is a Gujarat Province alcohol permit! You get it in Gujarat province when you arrive, or you order it in advance on the internet and hope it works (unlike for us – ours didn’t work so we had to go to the Bhagwhati Hotel to get them. Good luck and Safe travels, Jonny

• Hi, how much is it for the liquor permit by the way ?

  Thanks

• Hi Jackie, thanks for the comment, as mentioned on this article and on my other articles, the permit itself is realistically free, though if you print it, you might have to pay for your printing and for the photo, but for me I had all that already so I classed it as free. This was in February 2016 so the situation may also have changed since then. Safe travels. Jonny

• Nice blog Jonny,

  I am a resident of Gujarat & there is no death penalty in case you buy or sell unofficial/ homemade liquor, of course you can be imprisoned for few days if you buy & for few years if you sale.. After you visited Gujarat, Government opened around 20 more shops in other cities including Ahmadabad.

  Good Luck

• Hi Gautam thanks for the comment and update. It sounds like the laws have made it easier now since I backpacked Gujarat in February/March 2016. Safe travels. Jonny

• Thanks Jonny ! Great blog btw.

• Hi Jackie, thanks and safe travels. Jonny

• Jonny,
  I am a Mumbai born Gujrati living in USA. I loved your article and and your attitude about the whole thing. The alcohol permit thingie is childish and fun.
  BTW, there is more alcohol consumed by the ‘dry’ Gujratis than most ‘wet’ states of India. One can easily purchase both foreign and domestic beer, scotch, vodka (good wine is tough to find) in Gujrat, that to home delivered. Just don’t do it in public and don’t be nuisance(drunk), no one bothers you.
  The ‘death’ penalty thing is complete non-sense, it is only done to prevent criminals brewing cheap and dangerous moonshines that is generally consumed by poor., causing death and blindness due to Methanol poisoning.

• Hi
  I am in Canada. I have PR card (Permanent Resident) of Canada, but Indian passport. I am basically from Ahmedabad, Gujarat. I am coming to India after 2-years in this December for 5-months.
  Can I eligible for Liquor permit ?
  Thanks

• Hi Jonny, is the permit only for one who obtained it?? Can he offer a drink to some, maybe just for company. Does the rules cover anything on this subject??

• Hi Nit, I am not 100% sure but there were two of us so we got a permit each. Yes, I think it is only for that person. Safe travels. Jonny

• Hi Jonny,
  Great blog and the information is very useful to so many people, nice job! Hope you are over your battle with depression, and travelling is no doubt the best way to cope with it.
  I am a UK national, and will be staying with relatives in Gujarat so I am stuck on how to provide “Temporary Residence Proof in Gujarat” since I wont be staying in a hotel, any advise would be much appreciated, thanks.

• Hi Dharmesh, thanks for checking out my blog and enjoying Gujarat, depression is tough – caused by nasty liars and wannabe GuruGods. I didn’t live in Gujarat – just passed through in 4 days and got ,my permit sorted. Best wishes and safe travels. Jonny

• Hi
  I tried applying for the online application yesterday but I’m waiting for an email containing my user id to then log in and upload, it asked me to check my email account. How long did it take for the first email to get to you? Have I done something wrong?

• Hi Pramodlad, as you probably read, I didn’t receive any emails and got my permit in person at the hotel Bagwhati in Ahmedabad and that is what I recommend. Safe travels. Jonny

• Hi R Patel, Thanks for the comment! Of course you can – there is no restriction on who can apply!! As long as you are legally in India and are backpacking in Gujarat, you can apply for the licence. Best of luck and safe travels. Jonny

• I am trying to apply but it doesn’t work. Any other way to get the permit.

• Hi Jonny,
  How did you get the password to log in to then upload. I have note received any email or text notifying me of any password and therefore unable to upload my documents. I stuck at this stage. Could you please advise?

  Thanks,

  Pops

• Hi Kam, thanks for the comment and safe travels. Jonny

• One can obtain liquor permit for tourist for one month free at the liquor shop in Gujarat India.

  Good Job…

• Renewal on Health permit is on hold.
  Could not understand that why permit of Defence personnel is not getting renew.
  Please revert.

• Hi, There isn’t any death penalty for alcohol related offences. For People who create ruckus or harass others in an inebriated condition, will face a jail-term of up to three years, not less than one year. You can find details by visiting this link. https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/alcohol-ban-gujarat-govt-notifies-rules-for-new-prohibition-law/story-qBmx1OWQ6xWN0WpRtOvu9K.html

• I visit Gujarat every year for 3 weeks and until a couple of years ago, you were able to get alcohol permit at mumbai airport. 5 min process. Now you have to go to mumbai central to do it so i don’t bother wasting time with that. I ask my local barber and he delivers liquor to my house . it may be 25-33% more expensive but you can save time and hassle. You can ask just about any cab or rickshaw driver and they can get liquor for you.

  Gujarat liquor permit is a joke. We consume more alcohol in gujarat than many other states becuase we have most NRI. Gujarat is loosing millions in taxes. Gandhi is the worst thing that happened to india and unfortunately he was born in my state. He screwed up our country by giving in to british in dividing the country and then appointed Nehru as PM and we have been paying for that with corrupt Gandhi family ruling india since independence. Thank god for Modi whois bring back prosperity to india.

• Good post. I’d been checking out regularly that blog site and i am motivated! Very useful information particularly the supreme part 🙂 I personally maintain this sort of data a good deal. I’m seeking that facts for the period of time. Thank you plus best of luck.

• why tourism India Toronto stop issuing Liquor permit for traveling to gujrat state.

• I absolutely loved your response to ‘Chavda’ back in December 2016 ! Would you say it is easier to apply for the permit in person when in Gujarat ? I base this question on the extreme difficulty I experienced when trying to ‘resize and reformat’ photos/pictures to upload when applying for e-visa !!!

• I need alcoholl parmit
  Please

• Hello Jonny, Well written blog for people you read it and ask questions. I very much hope you have recovered from this nasty bout of depression. Only one comment to add is make sure you have a fast internet to go through this process. The worst part is to resize the photo and passport page. 200kb is a joke with smart cameras taking 50mb photos. I am UK resident and travelling to India soon. Again swift recovery, lot let it control you.

• Hi Johny

  Can I get E-permit 2 weeks before I travel to Gujarat?

• I’m here. Doing that. The amount of people giving me anger mgmnt probs in order to crack a few beers is insane. Took me 3 trips to Surat city, an hour rickshaw ride soaked in ball sweat, just to find a Fu***g licenced dealer. Whence we did, I was told by many that all I needed was a passport, total fail. Had my e permit in the works, also had a barber in my wife’s village hooking me up with the local booze runner. A true indoam straight from an 80s disco style Hindi flick. Parted hair, cropped moustache, shirt tucked into flat pants, The works. But the barber was using me to get a commission, I hate getting ripped off, even though 100 roops works out to w
  2cad . Which sent me on this journey. Twice in Surat I scored by asking cool dudes, like drivers or hipster types. Worked far better. My permit registration is done after a week of info gathering and collage cropping. I give up on permits. Fuck this beaurocratic shit storm, kids are dying in the streets, wake up stupids. Clean the fucking walkways. It stinks. Then tell me I can’t crack a brew.

• Hi Jonny,hope you are feeling better now.
  I will update your post here about recent experience in 2019 for obtaining the permit of alcohol in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. The entire process is now online and all the hotels (at, least the Umed right outside the airport), will print and verify your permit at the shop, no more paperwork filling.
  For all Foreigners Passport, Ticket and Residence proof (Hotels have special letterhead for providing proof) are only needed to get the permit.
  For all Indians on permanent residency have to bring their PR proof along with other documents.
  OCI Holders need to bring the OCI Booklet for visa status. I was told to come back every 2 weeks to get 2 units renewed for I believe 4 weeks that I was to stay.
  Hope this helps. Safe Travels everyone.

• Hi Hardick (is it rock hard willy?!), Thanks for the comment and sorry for late reply. I was in deep depression caused by lies. Fake name you used I think 😉 Jonny

• Hi Vyas, yes one can!! Wacaday. Jonny

• Hiya,

  thanks for this blog, read through some of the comments, I hope you are doing well now. Did you have to pay again when you filled in the paper form or that was just one-time payment?

  Cheers

  BTW- Hardik is an Indian name….not a fake one 🙂

• Helpful and Informative content. Thanks for sharing it with us.

• Hi Rock and Storm thanks for the comment even though you used a fake name. Safe travels to Gujarat! Jonny

• Thanks Johny,
  I am born and brought up in India but your guide helps me twice in my 2 visits to Gujarat to get a liquor license.

• If You visit Gujarat then you required permit to buy alcohol
  buying alcohol at first place you have to saw same document that you upload online for save time otherwise they fill all info online and upload document for you which take long time.
  Required Document Like (1) Foreign nationality Passport (2) Travel Itinerary ( by air, Ship,Etc) (3) Address proof where you live in Gujarat ( hotel, Lodge, Resort Etc.) and Print of Alcohol Permit
  If you have this document handy then just buy what ever brand of alcohol you like or available and pay bill and you can use alcohol in all over the Gujarat during your stay. they stamped your permit and make it valid for month.
  when you travel keep stamped permit and alcohol and all document with you all the time. you can buy 2 bottle of whisky(2x750ml or 2×1 liter) or equivalent beer( may be 13x500ml), vodka Etc. every 10 days.
  when you go to buy alcohol second time any where just saw stamped permit that’s it and thy sale you alcohol
  In 2018 huge increase in sales tax on Alcohol by government there is no more queue found and very easy and fast. I mostly use to buy in Surat ( Hotel Oasis, Varachha road) very close to Railway station. special ride by three wheeler by meter charge you probably RS 25
  I try to give as much info as possible, I hope will help foreign Nation tourist well.

  Thanks

I have been going through problems with depression and wasn’t checking the comments or messages that much. That sounds like an ordeal – I hope things worked out for you in the end in Gujarat, Stay safe. Jonny

• Hi Bobby, Thanks for the comment and I am extremely sorry for the huge delay in replying to you. I have been going through problems with depression and wasn’t checking the comments or messages that much. I was in Gujarat in 2016, so not really so useful to ask as things may have changed. As I remember, the permit lasts for a few days, so getting it in advance should be okay as long as you check when it expires. Stay safe. Jonny

• Hi Binny,
  Thanks for the comment. I apologise for the late reply but I have been going through depression the last few years. This was not my fault – it was caused by a liar I met and due to that, I have not been checking comments and messages as often. This is good updated information about the Alcohol Permit for Gujarat. I also have to say that I was there in 2016, so for sure things will have changed since then and even more after the current Coronavirus Crisis. Stay safe. Jonny
