E-visa facility resumes again for UK nationals travelling to India

India is ready to resume its e-visa service for UK citizens visiting the country for the first time since the Covid outbreak. The decision was made as the nation was preparing for the holiday season.

Vikram K Doraiswami, the High Commissioner to the UK, in a video tweet posted by the High Commission of India in London, said, “We are rolling out e-visas once again and this service will be made available to you forthwith (dates to be announced soon). That should enable friends from the UK to travel far more easily to India. So welcome back, e-visas are up ahead and all of our other services including visa at your doorstep remain available to you. We look forward to a good winter season in which everyone gets to celebrate their festivals in India which is the land of festivals.”

“System upgrade is underway and the visa website will soon be ready to receive applications from friends in the UK,” the tweet mentioned.

E-visas were reportedly one of the topics that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his British counterpart, Rishi Sunak, discussed at their meeting last month, which took place on the margins of the G20 Summit in Indonesia.

Rishi Sunak approved 3,000 visas for young professionals from India

Rishi Sunak approved 3,000 visas for young professionals from India to work in the UK annually earlier in November.

The UK-India migration and mobility cooperation, which was established last year, is strong, according to the British government, which claimed that India is the first visa-national country to profit from such a programme.

“Today the UK-India Young Professionals Scheme was confirmed, offering 3,000 places to 18-30-year-old degree-educated Indian nationals to come to the UK to live and work for up to two years,” the UK Prime Minister’s Office had said in a tweet.
