India to Resume Tourist Visas for Chinese Nationals in 2025
India is letting Chinese tourists visit again after a long break.
This means people from China can apply for a special pass, called a visa, to travel to India.
They need to fill out an online form and set up a meeting.
Then, they have to bring their papers to a special office in person.
This change starts on July 24, 2025.
India stopped giving these visas during a world health problem and also because of some disagreements with China.
India is resuming tourist visa services for Chinese nationals.
The service restart begins on July 24, 2025.
Applications require an online form and appointment.
Applicants must submit documents in person at designated centers.
The visa suspension was due to the COVID-19 pandemic and diplomatic tensions.
