India has suspended tourist visas issued to Chinese nationals.

The global airlines body International Air Transport Association (IATA) has told its member carriers that India has suspended tourist visas issued to Chinese nationals.

India’s move is deemed a payback as around 22,000 Indian students enrolled in Chinese universities cannot go back for physical classes as China has refused to let them enter.

These students had to leave China after the COVID-19 pandemic hit the world in 2020.

According to the Indian news agency PTI, a circular issued on April 20, the IATA said, “Tourist visas issued to nationals of China (People’s Republic) are no longer valid.”

It said the following passengers are allowed to enter India: nationals of Bhutan, India, Maldives and Nepal; passengers with a residence permit issued by India; passengers with a visa or an e-visa issued by India; passengers with an overseas citizen of India (OCI) card or booklet; passengers with a person of Indian origin (PIO) card; and passengers with a diplomatic passport.

The IATA also said that tourist visas with a validity of 10 years are no longer valid.

India has repeatedly requested China to adopt a “congenial stance” in the matter of Indian students.

Indian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said last month that the continuation of the strict restrictions was putting the academic careers of thousands of Indian students in jeopardy.

Mr Bagchi said a Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson had stated on February 8 that China was looking into the matter in a coordinated manner and that arrangements for allowing international students to return to China were being examined.

“But let me clarify that till date, the Chinese side has not given any categorical response about the return of Indian students. We will continue to urge the Chinese side to adopt a congenial stance in the interest of our students and that they facilitate an early return to China so that our students can pursue their studies,” Bagchi said.

He said the issue was also taken up with Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi by External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar during a meeting in Dushanbe in September last year. The two foreign ministers had held talks in the Tajik capital city on the sidelines of a conclave of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO).
