India on Thursday further relaxed the visa and international travel restrictions. The Union Home Ministry decided to permit all OCI (Overseas Citizen of India) and PIO (Person of Indian Origin) cardholders and all other foreign nationals intending to visit India for any purpose, except on a Tourist Visa. All travellers, however, must adhere to the quarantine and other health/COVID-19 matters specified by the Airlines and Airports. Government of India has also decided to restore with immediate effect all existing visas (except electronic visa, Tourist Visa and Medical Visa).
These relaxations are applicable to all (except tourists) who wish to land or fly out of India. “The Government has now decided to make a graded relaxation in visa and travel restrictions for more categories of foreign nationals and Indian nationals who wish to enter or leave India. Therefore, it has been decided to permit all OCI and PIO cardholders and all other foreign nationals intending to visit India for any purpose, except on a Tourist Visa to enter by air or water routes through authorized airports and seaport immigration check posts. This includes flights operated under Vande Bharat Mission, Air Transport Bubble arrangements or by any non-scheduled commercial flights as allowed by the Ministry of Civil Aviation. All such travellers will, however, have to strictly adhere to the guidelines of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare regarding quarantine and other health/COVID-19 matters,” said Union Home Ministry in a statement.
Under this graded relaxation, Government of India has also decided to restore with immediate effect all existing visas (except electronic visa, Tourist Visa and Medical Visa). If the validity of such visas has expired, fresh visas of appropriate categories can be obtained from Indian Mission/Posts concerned. “Foreign nationals intending to visit India for medical treatment can apply for a Medical Visa including for their medical attendants. Therefore, this decision will enable foreign nationals to come to India for various purposes such as business, conferences, employment, studies, research, medical purposes etc,” said the statement.VIsaVisa

It is great blog post. I am Always read your blog. Helpful and Informative blog. Thanks for sharing these information with us.
If the Modi govt does indeed read your site, it’s time for them to look at these backpackers visa. I see some dedicated to showing filth about India to Russian speaking audiences. It’s incredible that the visa officers don’t look at people social media profiles before issuing visas. Russians have a campaign against brand India and Indians are clueless because they don’t speak Russian.
