Union Government had
launched e-Tourist Visa Scheme (as Tourist Visa on Arrival scheme) in
November 2014.
The e-Tourist Visa Scheme facilitates pre-authorization of Visa i.e.
electronic travel authorisation given to foreigners prior to travel.
Under this scheme, an applicant registers for visa online and receives
an email authorising him/her to travel to India after it is approved.
On arrival, the visitor has to present the authorisation to the
immigration authorities who will in turn allow them to enter into the
country.
The scheme seeks to tap the vast tourism potential of India which still
remains untapped and explored.
