OK, followed Mr Hemingway's links to e-bay, read thru the description, and ...............

Suddenly I remember why I stopped reading it, its 3 of a series of 4, and a couple of chapters in I felt the overwhelming need to read the first two before progressing further.

Although this is the "Goa" volume, still needed to read the prior two volumes to do it justice.

Thank you for this.

Unlikely................ same as UK, the banks will have their snouts in the trough first.

There is a common misconception (often held by those who haven't worked in the private sector very much) that this money comes from the company's assets, it doesn't it comes indirectly from the government, hence our taxes.

So this reads that a family of four, arriving from the UK, can now get visa on arrival?

No matter how many times I read it.............. that's what it says

Anyone want to test it?

Yup - that's what it says..............but it seems you still have to do the online application beforehand......
Hope this doesn't mean they will do away with the longer T visas

There has never been any suggestion of this from official sources, more that they will run as parallel systems.

However, given the traumatic events surrounding Indian visas in recent years, its not surprising that people fret

I was reading through the comments below the article. Interesting, the one from Saththi.M (Bengaluru): not a big deal, Just two droplet of water into big Indian Ocean, and they pay in $ in place of Rs, they know it that they get cheated

Hmmm.

Similar situation when Indian travellers come on package tours to Europe. The Indian travel agent organises everything including visas and (sponsorship by hotels I presume) they have to take out medical insurance. However not allowed to travel out side the package.

Not the same though, they say that everyone has to book through an Indian travel agent - not just Indians.
