COVID-19: Important information for travelers to India!

Info

The Indian Government has halted all international commercial scheduled flights for a week starting from 23rd March. Many carriers have already stopped their service between India and Europe.

India has changed its entry requirements due to the COVID19 epidemic. All (e-) visas issued to foreigners were declared invalid until April 15, 2020.

Exceptions to the entry ban only apply to holders of “Employment” and “Project” visas, but not to holders of “Tourism”, “Business” or “Journalist” visas.

German travelers in India can continue their stay on their visas. Travel restrictions related to COVID-19 are subject to change.
