“We are rolling out e-visas once again and this service will be made available to you forthwith. (Dates will be announced shortly). That should enable friends from the UK far more easily to India. So welcome back, e-visas are up ahead and all of our other services including visas at your doorstep remain available to you. We look forward to a good winter season in which everyone gets to celebrate their festivals in India which is the land of festivals,” said the High Commissioner as per the ANI report.
Over the last couple of months, India and UK have been engaged in multiple talks to negotiate several things. One of the main issues under consideration has been the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) and even the UK PM Rishi Sunak emphasised the importance of this deal.
