India to Resume Tourist Visas for Chinese Nationals After Five Years
India is going to start letting Chinese tourists visit again after not allowing it for five years.
This means people from China can get visas to go to India for fun starting July 24.
They stopped giving these visas in 2022.
It might be because some Indian students couldn't go back to their schools in China.
Other kinds of visas, like those for diplomats or people who live there, were still okay during the pause.
India will resume issuing tourist visas to Chinese citizens from July 24.
The decision marks the first time in five years that tourist visas will be issued to Chinese nationals.
India suspended tourist visas for Chinese citizens in 2022.
This move may be a response to issues faced by Indian students in Chinese universities.
Other visa categories, such as diplomatic and resident visas, remained valid during the suspension.
