Covid-19: MHA extends visa of stranded foreigners till May 3

India Today  

The Home Ministry on Friday extended regular and e-visas of all foreigners who are stranded in India due to the coronavirus lockdown till May 3 on gratis basis. The Home Ministry also said the visa granted to those foreigners, except diplomats and UN officials, who are supposed to come to India, will remain suspended till May 3, an official statement said. Regular visa, e-visa or stay stipulation, of such foreign nationals who have been stranded in India because of spread of Covid-19 in many parts of the world and also due to travel restrictions imposed by Indian authorities, and whose visas have expired or would be expiring during the period from February 1 midnight to May 3 midnight, would be extended till midnight of May 3 on 'Gratis' basis, after online application by the foreigner, the statement said. In order to remove confusion, the home ministry on March 28 had granted consular services on gratis basis to foreign nationals, presently residing in India due to travel restrictions in the context of Covid-19 outbreak, till April 30.
