Waiver of Indian visa appointment for senior citizens

block
City Desk :
With effect from 18 September, senior citizens from Bangladesh aged 65 years and above will NOT require prior appointment date/e-token to submit their Tourist visa applications. Senior citizens can walk-in and submit their applications at any of the Indian Visa Application Centres in Bangladesh, says a press release.
The Government of India recently announced that Bangladesh nationals above the age of 65 years would be eligible for Long Term Multiple Entry Tourist visas valid for 5 years.
This is a goodwill gesture extended for the benefit of senior citizens. It is expected to facilitate the ease of securing Indian visas and further strengthening people-to-people contacts and relations between both the countries.
