UNDER the existing e-Tourist visa scheme, a foreign national can
undertake casual business visit (including casual business meetings). Government
has also approved e-Business Visa under which all activities presently permitted
under normal Business Visa, including participation in business meetings and
exhibitions, will be allowed. However, there is no proposal to extend e-visa
facility to foreign nationals for attending international conferences.
This
was stated by the Minister of State for Home Affairs, Mr Kiren Rijiju in written
reply to a question by Mr A.K. Selvaraj and Shri T.Rathinavel in the Rajya Sabha
today.
