“GOVT TO EASE TOURIST VISA RESTRICTIONS
The mandatory two-month gap between visits to India, imposed on foreign tourists last December, will shortly be done away with. New tourist visa guidelines to be announced soon, will have no such restriction, but instead will allow only three visits to chose with multi entry visas, no questions asked. Those wanting to make a fourth trip will have to give reasons why.
The external affairs ministry has asked the change, but it awaits the home ministry’s nod.
The government had clamped down on tourist visas following the disclosures made by arrested Lashkar-eTayebba operative David Headley about his frequent visits to India using a tourist visa, during which he surveyed a number of the locations in Mumbai which were targeted during the 26/11 attack.
“The change is aimed at helping genuine tourists. Measures are in place to ensure we don’t compromise on security” said a senior official”.
