what is the procedure for applying passport and visa?

Answer 1

You asked for two separate things - Passport and Visa.

For passport, quite broad information has been given above. A few additional useful information

You can also download passport application form with complete detailed rules from http://passport.nic.in and can actually use this form for making formal application for a passport. Also, fill the form completely and truly with all support documents and fee in first go itself for fast and quick favourable disposal of your application. Due to this, I have the benefit of getting passport(s) in straight 4-5 weeks time in normal course. Do read the rules first and fill the form complying everything asked there.

For Visa, every country issues its own visa to visit their land (with exception of certain European Union Member Countries) and have their own set of rules and fee structure for issuing different visas. So whichever country you wish to visit, consult their respective rules by either visiting their Embassy / High Commission or their respective websites for such information. But a formal application is required in each case, alongwith their prescribed fee.
