The announcement comes one and a half years after India completely suspended tourist visas in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“All such desirous foreign nationals would be required to obtain fresh e-Tourist/Regular Tourist Visa from Bureau of Immigration or Mission/Consulate. Please note that E-tourist visas are issued directly by Bureau of Immigration and regular tourist visas are issued by mission or consulate,” reads Indian High Commission’s statement.

“The first 500,000 tourist visas would be issued on ‘Gratis’ basis and admissible only once per tourist,” it adds.
