IMPACT – MEDIUM
The Indian Ministry of Home Affairs recently announced that it would start approving tourist visas and allowing tourist travel.
Key Points:
Additional Information: Foreign nationals who are traveling to India are required to have a valid passport and a visa from an Indian Mission/Post or an eVisa from the Bureau of Immigration to enter the country. E-Business, e-Medical, e-Medical Attendant, e-Conference and e-Emergency X-Misc Visas have been available since the end of March 2021; e-visas for tourism have not been available. Individuals can apply for e-Visas on this website and are advised to review related-travel restrictions found here traveling to the country.
BAL Analysis: The re-opening of tourist visas is welcome news for many as they have not been available for more than a year. Employers and travelers are reminded that that travelers must obtain a business visa or e-Business Visa to conduct business activities while in India. The response to the COVID-19 pandemic continues to develop, and BAL will provide additional updates as information becomes available.
