Removing Restrictions From UK e-visa
There have been talks that the United Kingdom E-visa issue will be resolved as soon as possible. Chief Minister of Goa Mr. Pramod Sawant met Indian Home Minister Amit Shah on 19-10-2022, Wednesday, where Amit Shah assurance to resolve the issue of the United Kingdom visas ASAP.
Pramod Sawant said. “I have discussed the UK visa issue with Home Minister Amit Shah. It will be sorted out soon. There were some foreign ministry-related issues, hence it was getting delayed. But he has assured me to resolve it as soon as possible. Various other issues related to the state were discussed," Sawant told reporters here.
Goa Forward Party president and MLA Vijai Sardesai had on Tuesday claimed that the coastal state will face a loss of Rs 500 crore if tourists from the United Kingdom do not visit the state on account of hindrances in getting a visa.
"I want to appeal to Tourism Minister Rohan Khaunte and Chief Minister Pramod Sawant to take up the issue with Prime Minister Narendra Modi to lift the visa restrictions. We can come together and meet the PM over the issue," Sardesai had said.
"This (lifting restriction) is important because in Goa annually a minimum of 40,000 to 50,000 tourists arrive from the UK. As per statistics of the pre-pandemic period each tourist spends around Rs 98,000, which means around a Rs 500 crore turnover takes place from this area," Sardesai had said.
So, after all these discussions and meetings held with CM and the home minister, it is sure that the UK E-Visa restrictions will be removed very soon in the upcoming days.
It is an appeal to all the travelers coming from the UK can now book their Evisasin advance a month or two before their traveling. Fill in an application form online with the basic details, attach supporting documents and make the payment using available payment modes. And you will receive the India Evisa within 2 days.
