After banning international flights to India for more than a year, the Indian government is ready to lift the restrictions for some international travellers in coming weeks. Flights to India from USA and other countries were suspended from March 2020. According to latest reports India will start sanctioning fresh tourist visas for international travellers seeking entry into India through charter flights. Recently, UK, USA and many European countries have lifted travel restrictions for international tourists. Though there are few conditions which need to be fulfilled, still lifting travel restrictions have brought a great relief to the airline sector. Though student visas and business visas were resumed earlier but government upheld the decision of resuming tourist visas. Now according to latest reports India will start granting visas for tourists as well. The Ministry of Home Affairs in India recently issued a statement which reads, “All due protocols and norms relating to COVID-19... shall be adhered to by the foreign tourists, carriers bringing them into India and all other stakeholders at landing stations.” India is one of the worst hit countries by COVID 19. In May 2021 during the second wave, India faced a massive surge in COVID cases but ever since then the number of cases have gone down and things are getting back to normal. Entry Requirements: The latest flight news from India to USA states that if a traveller from USA wants to enter into India, he/she has to present a negative COVID -19 test report regardless of his/her vaccination status. The test must be taken no more than 72 hours before the trip and can be uploaded to the Air Suvidha portal. Travellers also need to submit a self-declaration form at least 72 hours before departure through the same online portal. The CDCP (Centres for Disease Control & Prevention) has advised US citizens to get fully vaccinated before travelling to India as India still has a moderate level of COVID - 19. As the festive season in India has already kicked off and lifting the travel restrictions by the government of India is a welcome decision. The tourist visa restrictions have been lifted only for those travellers who want to take charter flights to India. We can expect further relaxations in granting visas and opening borders by India in the coming days. India is a big market for the tourism industry and with the ongoing restrictions, travel and airline industries are suffering heavy losses. The new rules have given a fresh breath of air to airlines and the travel industry. Fly Deal Fare offers cheap flights to India from USA in this festive season.
