The United States Embassy in India has announced that it will be closed from December 24 to 26, 2025, due to a Presidential Executive Order. This means that routine consular services will not be available during this period. According to the Embassy's notice, the closure is in line with the Executive Order that mandates the closure of federal government executive departments and agencies on these dates. This includes the US Embassy and Consulates in India. The decision comes after US President Donald Trump signed an executive order last week, which stated that all executive departments and agencies of the Federal Government will be closed on December 24 and 26, 2025. Although the US Embassy in India will be closed, some offices and installations may remain open for reasons of national security, defense, or other public need. Affected individuals are advised to check the Embassy's website for updates on services and availability. This announcement affects various stakeholders, including H-1B visa workers, who have been warned by Apple and Google to avoid leaving the US during this period.
