Why not to travel to India on
e-TV for ”casual business”
When applying for an e-Tourist Visa(e-TV) to India, it is possible to select “casual business” as the purpose of the visit. However, the eligibility of conducting business on an e-TV is not clearly defined by the Indian government, and the definition of “casual business” is subject to interpretation by the immigration officer on arrival. Therefore the risk of being denied visa on arrival is expected to be high.
Comet advise all business travelers not to apply for an e-TV, except in an emergency
and only if the purpose of the visit is a quick look and see or short meetings at or in the perimeter of the airport.
Further, all clients of Comet, applying for a e-TV will do so on their own risk since this is not advised.
Kanada kräver visum för inresande
Som ett led i ett ökat säkerhetsarbete skärper Kanada reglerna
för inresor till landet från den 15 mars.
Den nya säkerhetsåtgärden påverkar européer och andra som tidigare kunnat resa till
Kanada utan visum.
Från och med den 15 mars måste alla, inklusive de som bara stannar
på en stop-over, fylla i en så kallad Electronic Travel Authorization, ETA, i förväg,
samt betala en administrationsavgift på sju kanadensiska dollar, drygt 40 kronor.
Efter att ha fyllt i eta-formuläret kommer ett visum som gäller för fem år på epost,
skriver norska Travel News. – Amerikaner är undantagna de nya visumreglerna och alla som
stoppas omedvetna om de nya reglerna kommer att få en mild behandling inledningsvis,
säger Robert Orr, biträdande immigrationsminister i Kanada.
