India is expected to announce within 10 days when tourist visas for foreign travelers can be issued again, reports the Indian newspaper Hindu, citing the Ministry of Home Affairs.

To boost tourism, Indian authorities plan to issue free visas to the first 500,000 tourists. The Ministry of Home Affairs is currently considering two options for reopening the borders: allowing entry only for vaccinated tourists or creating a “red” list of countries.
