Inner line permits are required for Indian as well as Foreign national for visiting Arunachal Pradesh. For Nagaland, as far as I know it's not required. For Manipur & Mizoram, I am not aware. Mridul Bhuyan

See: http://www.immigrationindia.nic.in/FAQ_Restricted_Area.htm It is usually not difficult for a group of four to get it (probably not to Manipur) perhaps because the government thinks such a large group is likely to be a tourists and not academics, journalists etc who might write about the situation in the region. Indians need Inner Line permits for Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram and Nagaland. They are issued by the Resident Commissioners of those states in New Delhi, Deputy Commissioners, Liason Officers in places like Guwahati and Shillong. But research visas (they are usually for long stays with research as the explicit reason) are almost never given to study the Northeast. Thus most major academic work by foreigners on the region was done before Independence.
