Visas for cruise visitors

Norms eased for e-visa cruise visitors, January 3, 2018: The Times of India

Foreign tourists on e-visas arriving in India for cruises won't require biometric enrolment till December 2020. The home ministry has approved the exemption in a bid to promote cruise tourism in the country.

"This will make the immigration clearance of such passengers faster, leaving them with more time to spend on shore. This is also an important factor that helps cruise lines decide whether or not to include a destination in their itinerary," the shipping ministry said.

The e-visa facility has been in place at five major ports — Mumbai, Mormugao, New Mangalore, Cochin and Chennai.
