New Delhi: India has suspended tourist visas for Chinese nationals in response to Beijing’s reluctance to allow about 22,000 Indian students enrolled in Chinese universities, who had returned home during the pandemic, to go back.
“Indian tourist visas issued to nationals of China (People’s Republic) are no longer valid,” global airlines body International Air Transport Association (IATA) told its member carriers in a circular issued on April 20.
It said the following passengers are allowed to enter India: nationals of Bhutan, India, Maldives and Nepal; passengers with a residence permit issued by India; passengers with visa or an e-visa issued by India; passengers with an overseas citizen of India (OCI) card or booklet; passengers with a persons of Indian origin (PIO) card; and passengers with a diplomatic passport, PTI reported.
The IATA also said that tourist visas with a validity of 10 years are no longer valid.
