India reinstates e-visa process for British travellers after hundreds of holidays disrupted
tour operators cancelled trips after the High Commission of India confirmed on 7 October that Britons would need to go to in-person appointments and interviews to secure a visa to visit the country – applying for an e-visa, meanwhile, is a relatively straightforward process, similar to that of an Esta for the US.
“In addition, many travellers with existing bookings were either unable or unwilling to go through the complicated and in-person application process. “At Experience Travel Group, we had either to re-schedule or cancel – due to issues with their visa – simply hundreds of people desperate to get their travelling shoes out and go on an adventure.”
Mr Clark added that the announcement on Monday by the High Commission of India will be an “absolute game changer”, particularly for small places all over India.
