Indian Visa Muddles

On 5th December 2022, the very welcome news has arrived that the Indian High Commission is once again issuing electronic visa for tourists wanting to visit the sub-continent. Evisas were available before the pandemic, and then were suspended perhaps because the UK were not being generous to Indians applying to visit the UK…at least that was the rumour. I’m sure our new Prime Minister and his Indian counterpart have been discussing this, and have now resolved the issue. India’s largest flow of tourism comes from two countries: Canada and the UK, so blocking those two countries will have diverted many tourists (in search of warmth?) to other countries. Those wanting to visit India to see family and friends will have been very frustrated. So it’s a great relief that this has been resolved.
