Panaji: Even when the Government Government has begun to issue a visa to travelers from the UK, British tourists plan a vacation to Goa it is not possible to have a fluent trip here.
Because India does not provide them e-visas, they have no choice but to visit their high commission office for Visas.
“It’s not easy to get a visa.
Goa has a large number of recurring clients with a long time, and usually they are senior citizens traveling to avoid hard English winter.
They want to come, but have trouble getting a visa,” said Ralph De Souza , President, Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI).
Even when getting a visa is not easy, there is also a dentin application to be taken into account, because some Indian expatriates cannot visit their home country for the past two years, because of a pandemic.
The source said that Indian expatriates also experienced problems getting their visas stamped, because application processing takes time.
“But when tourists submit a visa, they tend to have to wait longer (even),” De Souza said.
He added that although India has eliminated the condition of quarantine and traveler entry allowed, the important factor now is that the visa is difficult to obtain.
“The only solution is that India starts publishing e-visas.
Otherwise, reservations by tourists tend to be affected,” he said.
President GCCI said they had made a representation to the head of the Pramod Sawant minister “to use his good office to intervene in this problem”.
The room also looked for the help of the Minister of the Ministers to rise.
Interestingly, India also did not issue e-visas to travelers from Kazakhstan, another country that was important for Goa for tourism.
“With regard to Britain, we will return to approach the government.
If the problem is not sorted, we will have fewer legs from England.
If Goa is not available, there are other purposes that offer e-visas,” he said.
