British travellers to India will soon no longer have to apply in-person for a visa after India’s high commissioner on Monday (5 December) confirmed the country’s eVisa portal would reopen shortly.
India paused its eVisa regime during the pandemic; it has since been restored to more than 150 nations – including all EU nations – but the UK has until now been overlooked, forcing travellers to attend a visa centre.
Appointments have been routinely oversubscribed, with Aito warning in October that India’s failure to restore eVisa access for UK nationals risked £10 million worth of bookings.
