TransIndus managing director Amrit Singh said she had contacted all her clients with the news that India would soon restore the eVisa portal, removing the need to go to the Indian Consulate in person, a rule put in place during the pandemic.
“Today’s announcement is an absolute game changer for travellers and the small local communities who depend on visitors for their livelihood,” she said.
The news means India is now poised to remove all its Covid restrictions, having already dispensed with the self-declaration form.
Restrictions on travel have hampered India’s recovery, with Aito warning in October that £10 million in UK bookings were at risk.
