Dear Friends,   

You will be glad to know that Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India  has announced resumption of Tourist Visas to Foreigners coming to India through chartered flights with effect from 15th October 2021. 

Foreign tourists travelling to India by flights other than chartered aircraft would get visa with effect from 15 November 2021. 

All Covid-19, protocols and norms notified by Ministry of Health & Family Welfare need to be adhered to by the foreign tourists. 

A copy of the Press Release issued by PIB today is attached for your information and also available on the following link:-

This could happen due to aggressive and tireless follow up by IATO and other associations and with support from Ministry of Tourism, Government of India and I would like to thank the entire team in the Ministry of Tourism, Government of India for this.    

Will send you more details as soon as available with us. 

We hope inbound tourism would resume to some extent with opening of Tourist Visa.
