The provision relating to 2 months gap between two visits
of a foreign national to India on a Tourist Visa has been reviewed by
the Government. It has been decided to lift the restriction of two-month
gap on re-entry of foreign nationals coming to India except in case of nationals
of Afghanistan, China, Iran, Pakistan, Iraq, Sudan, Bangladesh, foreigners of
Pakistan and Bangladesh origins and Stateless persons and in such a case,
permission should be sought from the Head of Indian Mission in the region and
registration would be required within 14 days of arrival in India with the
FRRO.
