Can international visitors arrive in Goa on a charter flight, take domestic flights within India, and depart on a scheduled international flight from Delhi or Mumbai?

TL;DR

Once admitted to India, visitors can take domestic flights such as GOI/GOX–DEL. However, mixing a charter arrival with a scheduled international departure depends on the visa, ticket conditions and tour operator rules, so confirm this before buying separate flights.

For a Goa-to-Delhi trip after an international arrival, book a separate domestic ticket from Dabolim (GOI) or Manohar International/Mopa (GOX) to Delhi (DEL). Domestic flights require a passport and a valid Indian visa.

Charter tickets are often issued as part of a package holiday and may include only a fixed return segment from Goa. If departing from Delhi (DEL) or Mumbai (BOM), ask the tour operator and airline in advance whether the charter return can be skipped.

When arriving on a charter and leaving on a scheduled international flight, the key document is the visa: its validity and permitted entry points must cover the itinerary. Keep confirmation of your scheduled onward flight from India for check-in or immigration if requested.
