Following Prime Minister Narendra’s Modi’s
announcement in this regard, Visa-on-Arrival and Electronic Travel Authorisation
for 43 countries, including United
States, Australia, Fiji and Pacific Island countries is expected to be in place
on November 27.
According to a release from the Prime Minister’s
Office, a draft Bill for amending the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, which will
enable merger of the PIO (Person of Indian Origin) and OCI (Overseas
Citizenship of India) schemes, is expected to be brought to the Cabinet for
approval shortly.
The government has already announced fulfilment of the announcements made by the prime minister — such as granting visa for life to PIO card holders, exemption from police reporting for PIOs staying in India for long term and issuance of long term (10 year) visas to US nationals on a reciprocal basis.
