Days after it announced that international flights to and from India are set to resume fully from March 27, the government has restored the electronic tourist visa (e-TV) facility for 156 countries, according to a Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) order.
However, all land and riverine borders, including the Attari-Wagah post along Pakistan, will continue to remain shut, except for those with special permission. The Ministry said that the “instructions will not be applicable to Afghanistan nationals” who will continue to be governed by e-Emergency X-Miscellaneous Visa.
“Order for opening of Land ICPs (Integrated Check Posts) and riverine routes will be communicated separately,” the order said.
