New regulations:
The Foreign Office in India has introduced new regulations regarding tourist visa's which are as follows:-
1. All travelers traveling on tourist visas to India must allow at least a 2 month gap before re-entering the country regardless of the purpose of their first visit.
2. Those transiting India en route to visit a neighbouring country for tourism (ie: Nepal, Bhutan, Sri Lanka, Tibet, Pakistan etc…) then returning to India for tourism must apply for a re-entry permit before they depart from their home country or re-arrange their travel to avoid transiting in India. Incase the traveller does not apply for re-entry permit from their home country they will not be allowed to re-enter India.
We do not encourage any traveller to leave their home country without attaining the re-entry permit which must be obtained from the respective Indian Embassy of the specific country.
The government of India has decided to introduce 'Tourist Visa-on-Arrival' for a period of one year for citizens of five countries -- Finland, Japan, Luxembourg, New Zealand and Singapore on an experimental basis with effect from 1.1.2010.
Should you have any questions regarding these new regulations please contact the Indian Embassy.
