NRI Can Enroll For e-Visa & Tourist Visa With 3-year Validity

Complexities of varied nature, more often, hit immigrant Indians. Either its visa or green card or passport related issues, a Non-Resident of India’s (NRI) problems are of uncertain nature. How wonderful it would be if someone moves a magical wand & the problem gets sorted out within a wink! Well, magic can’t be but availability of NRI services in India are no less than that of magic itself. S2NRI is one of the identities that always stand as ‘I am at your service for 24X7’. 

Cheer all whose heart throbs for touring South Africa (SA)! You can procure tourist visas that have 3 years validity. All Indians, in love with South African landscapes, can binge there for three years. It’s an effort of South African government that wants to slide the tourists’ number to upwards. The minister of home affairs had cited it in public through media. 

Earlier, it was available but with the validity of 30 days only. Malugi Gibada of SA came with aforesaid urge to the home minister of India, Rajnath Singh, who stamped it with his confirmation. Moreover, all NRIs can enroll for e-visa in India for SA now.

Let me update all my NRI friends that India has opened gate for e-visa facility to 43 countries. Here applauds must be sent to internet. This miraculous global link-up has granted wish of 15,659 foreign tourists who caught glimpses of incredible India through e-visa facility. The first quarter of this year has marked the footfall of more than a lakh tourist to India which is pretty lesser than that of last year’s 10,000 visitors.

This much huge validity for an Indian on any SA visa is granted for business visa, i.e. 10 years. Do you know, what is the share of Indian tourists to SA tourism? Well, India is a step ahead of neighbouring China enjoying its 15th position as one of the biggest tourism contributors to SA. NRIs in this continent have swollen in number just because of its stable currency. But the regimen was hiked till 2013 when 1,33,000 Indians took flight to SA. Since then, the downfall of up to 26% brought wrinkles on SA government’s forehead.

You might be known to another update as per which NRIs must submit birth certificates for each child in addition to his/her passport & visa at the port of the entry. This would restrict human trafficking there.
