On tourism, the PMO has also asked the MHA and the ministry of external affairs to resolve the confusion around restrictions on re-entry of tourists within a 60-day period. The visa rule is likely to be relaxed and a solution reached in the next one month.




Now wouldn`t that be nice.!!!!!:thumbsup:
Puts me in a real quandary though as I must be out by 20th feb but don`t want to book flights and apartments for 2 months when maybe 2 weeks would suffice!!

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
 

It would be really good if they do away with it but personally I would plan on the basis that it may not be effective immediately but book a flight that you could change without cost and see if you can get an apartment to rent on a weekly but renewable basis but assume you will be two months out. Good luck, hope you will get back after two weeks.

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
 

If ....being the operative word it did change in the next month...i`d rather go back to the UK(and freeze) for 2 weeks and see my aged mother and stock up on goodies to bring back!

Gonna hang out till last few days and then make a decision!

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
 

Hope it works out for you and others in your position. Good luck!:nod:

Look past the sun & surf — Goa has become Paradise lost

22 Jan: Sunday Guardian. Paradises, by their very construct, are apolitical. All is fine as long as you are happy and living in cuckoo land … I found that in Goa, every government job has a price tag attached to it. All of the boys working at the shop, local Goans, hope to sell a plot of land to a Russian or at the very least, a Delhiite, for an astronomical sum, and then pay part of it to get a “permanent job”. Most would use the rest of the money to demolish their old house and construct a monstrosity that they could then rent out to more rich tourists

If you buy your meat from one of the main supermarkets in the UK then you are probably buying Halal meat** - even if it's not marked as such. There's been a big fuss about this recently from the animal-rights lobby.

** which could explain why it's tasteless!

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
 

Some tourists here have managed to inflate the period to a whole month.I met and old guy in Calingut who has bought a case of Honeybee and Gin just in case !From my own understanding there is going to a period of 4 days when the lot will be closed but this is Goa and there are always ways to get a drink.To your earlier question regarding tastes J5...The Russians do prefer Old Monk but as to the Indians drinking beer,but from observations its mostly strong beers.Dont know about the English and Honeybee though.Its a pretty nasty substance all in all.....

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
 

In the Herald today it says that from 25th Jan to 5th Feb bars and restaurants will have to close by 11pm and from Feb 6th to March 6th by 10pm so over a month not just a few days.
