India is reinstating eVisas for travellers from the UK, the High Commissioner of India to the UK has announced. The move comes as India enters its peak tourist season.
In 2021 the application process for eVisas was reinstated following the coronavirus pandemic. However, the UK was not among the countries put back on the list.
This meant that British travellers planning holidays and business trips to India had to apply for a visa in person, which can be costly and time consuming. However on December 5, the High Commission announced a U-turn on the decision.
