New Delhi: The much awaited Visa-on-Arrival and Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) for 43 countries, including United States of America, Australia, Fiji and Pacific Island countries is expected to be in place from Thursday.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi had recently made the announcement in this regard. A draft Bill for amending the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, that would enable merger of the PIO (Person of Indian Origin) and OCI (Overseas Citizenship of India) schemes, is expected to be brought to the Cabinet for approval, according to a release from the Prime Minister's Office.
The government has already announced fulfilment of the announcements made by the Prime Minister such as granting visa for life to PIO card holders, exemption from police reporting for PIOs staying in India for long term and issuance of long term (10 year) visas to US nationals on a reciprocal basis.
