Indian e-Visa now cheaper and more flexible

In some exciting news for people planning to travel to India, the Indian government is introducing more visa options that are much cheaper than the previously one - year visa option.

The government will introduce one-month e-visa and make charges flexible, with fee for summer months — non-peak months for tourism — kept less than the rest of the year.

Leisure tourists will be charged $10 for a 30-day e-visa for travel between April and June, and $25 for any other month, Union Tourism Minister Prahlad Patel announced on Tuesday. Currently, India charges $80-100 for one-year e-visa for tourists from most countries.

Let us hope that this gives our prospective guests more food for thought to visit the region.
