Earlier, one had to wait in long queue outside the embassy offices for getting it. An individual had to hit one ministry office to another. This practice exhausted many of its seekers. But the introduction of ETV has gifted convenience to all its seekers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Current Status of ETV<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As foretold, ETV requires good amount to get it. Today, its fee is USD 60 for its any seeker. This facility is open for 113 countries. Now, anyone can visit India for recreation, sight-seeing, casual leave, medical treatment or business purpose after having it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If its fee is compared with few other countries, it really appears a huge amount. Many countries keep its fee restricted to USD 20, USD 35 or USD 40. There are few countries that don\u2019t ask for any fee for providing it. Therefore, many countries have officially requested India to reciprocate it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As per immigration solution for NRIs, the Ministry of External Affairs has drafted a plan. Under this, the fee charges for ETV are categorized in four, i.e. USD 20, USD 48, USD 60 and no fee. Even, this service will be availed for 150 countries till 31 March, 2016. And travellers can arrive through 16 airports in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
