Wednesday 9th December, 2009
India has decided to introduce visa on arrival on a pilot basis for citizens of Singapore, Finland, New Zealand, Luxembourg and Japan, a tourism ministry official said Wednesday.
The scheme has been introduced for one year. The countries have been decided on the basis of being potential source markets for India without security concerns.
'The modalities of the implementation of the scheme are being worked out with all the stakeholders and will be notified very shortly,' the official said.
The official said that the introduction of Visa on Arrival scheme was expected to provide a quantum jump in tourist arrivals to India from these countries.
