India eases visa norms for Russian businessmen, tourists

MOSCOW: India has unilaterally eased the visa regime for Russian businessmen and tourists in an effort to promote exchanges between the two countries.

The Indian Embassy in Moscow, as well as Indian Consulates in St. Petersburg and Vladivostok, have started issuing one-year instead of six-month business visas and six-month instead of three-month tourist visas, the embassy said in its press release on Friday.

Business visas now allow for triple or multiple entry instead of single or double entry earlier and tourist visas provide for triple or multiple entry instead of single or double entry.
