New Delhi: The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) on Tuesday further relaxed the restrictions on visit of foreign journalists to India.
In an official order, the MHA stated that the foreign nationals holding journalist (J-1) visa and their dependents holding J-1X visa are permitted to visit India. If they have such visas, which have been suspended, those would be restored with immediate effect.
However, if the validity of such visas has expired, the foreign nationals may obtain a fresh J-1 or J1X visa, as the case may be, from the Indian missions or posts concerned.
The Ministry has also decided that the existing restrictions on incoming passenger traffic into India through the immigration check-posts will not apply in respect of these categories of foreign nationals.
But, with respect to quarantine and all other health or Covid-19 related matters, the guidelines of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW) shall be adhered to.
The fresh relaxation was granted on an earlier order issued by the ministry on August 7 which granted permission to certain categories of foreign nationals.
