Attention: New visa rules for visits to India

March 10, 2010 By Northwest Asian Weekly

The Government of India has issued following instructions to ensure proper use of all categories of the tourist visa:

1. In respect of foreign national holding tourist visas with a multiple entry facility, there should be gap of at least two months between two visits to India.

2. If any foreign national is required to visit the country again within a period of two months of his or her last exit, he or she should obtain special permission from the Indian embassy/consulates concerned. Such re-entry may be permitted only in emergency situations. In all cases, a confirmed itinerary and documentation in support of emergency will be required.

3. In all cases, the foreign passport must have at least 2 blank pages.

4. All such requests will be considered on merits of each case by the Indian embassies/consulates abroad.

5. In all such cases, the foreign national should register himself or herself with the FRRO/FRO concerned within 14 days of arrival. An endorsement to this effect will be made on the visa sticker.

6. The foreign nationals who possess business/employment/medical/diplomatic visas or have OCI/PIO cards are not covered under this provision.

7. A miscellaneous consular fee of $25 and $13 will be charged for making the endorsement in the valid foreign passport.  ♦
