Foreign tourist statistics in India are slowly increasing as India’s FTAs are slowly growing, and now that ‘category A’ foreign countries are being allowed in the country, Indian tourism, even at the local level, is starting to compensate for the loss it has suffered.

The Covid rules and regulations are still valid and vary depending on the covid status of the country you are travelling from.

  • If you are travelling from the countries that are “at-risk”, you have to quarantine for 14-days mandatorily upon arrival.
  • If your country of departure is deemed risk-free, you must self-monitor yourself.
  • While you have already gotten your visa, you will need to provide a Covid -negative report that has been taken within 72 hours before departure.
  • You will have to upload your vaccination certificate and a covid-negative report while applying and carrying them during immigration.

Here are a few things to remember before applying for the tourist visa to fly to India:

Rules ad regulations may vary in the 28 different states as you fly to them, and you may have to go through verifications and customs depending on the reason for your travel.

 E-visas on arrival are available at the major cities Mumbai, Kolkata, Delhi, Hyderabad, and Chennai.

In different states, the number of active cases and other restrictions may be declined. You also have to check with the aviation services in your country if they are fully functional.
