India retains e-visa suspension for Canadians

India has retained its suspension on the e-visa facility for Canadians in a retaliatory transfer for restrictions imposed by Ottawa on Indians flying to Canada.

 

India just lately introduced that short-term vacationer visas for international nationals with a 30-day validity might be issued and these can be utilized to enter India starting November 15, however Canada is among the many handful of countries for which the ability stays blocked. Nearly each different nationality, barring some like those holding Pakistani passports, can apply for an e-visa, Canadians nonetheless don’t have that choice.

 

A senior Indian official said that the e-visa “suspension remains in place for Canadians in response to the testing restrictions” that Canada continues to subject travellers from India to.

 

For those taking direct flights, they still only have the option of getting a mandatory negative RT-PCR test result from a single laboratory at the international airport in Delhi before being allowed to board for a Canada flight. For those flying via a third country, the stipulation is that they will have to obtain the necessary negative result at the point of departure, which is the country where the connecting flight is leaving from.

 

These restrictions got here into place in September, whilst Canada allowed direct flights from India, which had been suspended in April as a consequence of issues over the surge in Delta-driven coronavirus circumstances in India. Whereas that ban was lastly lifted on September 27, the Canadian Authorities put in place the restrictive testing routine.

 

New Delhi has retaliated to the developments by retaining the e-visa suspension for Canada whilst discussions proceed over relaxations, together with increasing the record of testing centres in India.
