Simpler Procedure For Study Visa To India

Filed under:

India has liberalised procedures for the grant and subsequent extension of visa to foreign students, Minister of State for External Affairs E. Ahamed told the Lok Sabha Wednesday.

All Indian missions abroad have been delegated powers to grant student visa for a period of five years or for the duration of the course of study, whichever is less, to a foreign student coming to India, he said in a written reply.

The facility is open to students for pursuing regular and fulltime academic studies on production of proof of admission in a recognised or reputed institution in India, Ahamed added.

The duration of the provisional visa to a foreign student, who does not possess a firm letter of admission from the university/educational institution, has been enhanced from three months to six months.

All the state governments or union territory administrations have been delegated powers to grant further extension of visa to the foreign students wherever required, Ahamed said
