NEW DELHI: Tourists from 11 countries can now avail of visa-on-arrival (VoA) facility at four additional airports - Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Kochi and Thiruvananthapuram. The Union home ministry has approved introduction of the tourist VoA facility at these airports with effect from August 15, according to minister of state for home MullapallyRamachandran.
So far, the tourists could get visa-on-arrival only upon disembarking at international airports at Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata. This facility - now available to the nationals of New Zealand, Singapore, Japan, Finland, Luxem Bourg, Phillippines, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, Indonesia and Myanmar - was introduced by the MHA in 2009.
Ramachandran said the civil aviation ministry will provide logistical support to implement the TVoA facility and also inform airport operators. "The concerned airport operators have to put up display boards in pre-immigration area for the tourists seeking TVoA facility. The airlines operating on the concerned routes must also take requisite action for smooth implementation of the TVoA scheme," he told newspersons.
Airline operators will be asked to provide advance information through the advance passenger information system (APIS) on passengers seeking TVoA facility. All Indian missions have been informed about the introduction of this facility at more airports, something that will also be publicized on the MEA website.
Welcoming the extension of TVoA facility to Kochi, Thiruvananthapuram, Bengaluru and Hyderabad airports, Ramachandran said it would give a fillip to tourism in Kerala, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. He said the international airport at Calicut may also be considered for the TVoA facility in the "next phase". "By the time the North Kerala Tourism circuit is implemented in full swing, the Calicult airport will also be provided this facility," he promised.
