Indian embassy issuing city-specific visas to Chinese travellers: IATO

Sunil Mishra, Hony. Secretary, IATO raised concerns about restrictive visa conditions that limit tourists to specific cities. “If a traveller applies for the Golden Triangle—Delhi, Agra, Jaipur—those cities are mentioned on the visa. The visitor cannot stay in Gurugram or Noida or modify the itinerary. This kind of city-specific visa is extremely restrictive and sends the wrong message,” he explained.
