# RedotPay in India: why residents can't get a card

You can open a RedotPay account in India, but **RedotPay doesn't issue cards to residents of India**, neither virtual nor physical, and an Indian address can't be used as a billing address. Without a card, the main reason to use RedotPay is gone.

## India at a glance

| | India |
|---|---|
| Account | Available |
| Virtual card | **Not available to residents** |
| Physical card | **Not available, and not shipped to India** |
| [Apple Pay](/en/cards/mobile-wallets/) | Launched in India in September 2026, but you'd have no RedotPay card to add |
| Sign-up country code | +91 |

> **Blogs that say otherwise**
>
> Some third-party guides say Indians can get the [virtual card](/en/cards/virtual-vs-physical/). RedotPay's own Card Issuance Restrictions list says they can't. Identity verification asks for your current home address, so declaring another country to get a card would mean giving false information.

## If you're Indian but live elsewhere

The card restriction applies to **residents** of India. If you live in a country where RedotPay issues cards, Indian nationality alone isn't on RedotPay's lists. See [the country overview](/en/countries/).
