2 month out rule
 

Do any of you think this most stupid visa rule ever?, will be reversed???:thumbsup:

Re: 2 month out rule
 

No, not until the tourism industry really suffers and then it may be too little too late to get back the regular tourists that will spend there hard earned dosh elshwhere.

i JUST DONT UNDERSTAND THIS RULE, its not set in Goa, but Delhi, as we all know, its crazy.

Re: 2 month out rule
 

Being as my home is in Goa I seriously pray that they introduce a suitable visa for those of us trying to live here in the revamp that has been promised!:fingerscrossed::fingerscrossed::fingersc rossed:

Yeh! there was an article in the paper a couple of months back about the Indian Government introducing a new visa regime! they reckoned it would take 3/4 years to implement it. The way it read was that you would almost have to wear a tag! Cant remember the exact details but registration was a key factor wherever you were in India. I`d have no problem with that!It was either in TOI or OheraldO cant remember which!J

Re: 2 month out rule
 

I've never heard such a load of crap in all my life.
A "tag", a bit like being on parole?
Forget about making Goa your home,they want you out it's as simple as that.
Visa issues will just get worse,wait and see.
To be honest i'm glad to see the back of the place.:thumbdown:

Re: 2 month out rule
 

Have not heard of that either. Sounds a bit far fetched even for India.

Has anybody else heard of this "proposed" new visa regime by the Indian Government?

Look good having a tag on, whilst sunbathing on the beach.

Ladies, ladies......

The term used was;
Almost. I read that as a way of emphasising that they would go overboard on maintaining a record of where you are?

The two month-out rule according to official sources originated from the Pakistani terrorist known briefly as Headley and his frequent visits to various parts of India, including Goa, to plot attacks. The response to this of course, is ridiculous........

As is the general reaction by some on IndiaMike, claiming that it is to stop "foreigners" living in India on tourist visas. There is absolutely no factual basis for this, other than their bigotted attitude to those who have worked hard all their lives so that they can retire to their chosen "place in the sun".

Most of those pedalling this crap are Americans. And as we all know, the only place Americans feel comfortable retiring is.....America. Lets face it, when you have bombed most of the rest of the planet....well, your retirement options (security-wise) are limited.

The attitude in Goa, fanned by their amazingly corrupt politicians,is that all the ills of the state should be laid at the feet of foreigners......well this may concur with certain IM saddos, but thats about all.

As someone pointed out earlier, the two month rule originates from Dehli, far away from Goa's uniquely mega-corrupt system......so do the central government care about a few Brits trying to live in Goa? Of course not.

What they do care about, as do most Indians, is losing face. And in the last couple of weeks India has lost enough face to last a lifetime, so don't hold your breath for a change in visa rules....cos it was daft to start with, and will appear even dafter on the world stage when (if) they withdraw it.

Goodnight.

Dread - x
