Letter to the Editor - Visa for India |26 December 2014

Now that we have a direct flight of Air Seychelles to Mumbai, I am sure that many Seychellois would like to take this opportunity to visit the wonderful and magical country of India but the idea of having to obtain a visa is a bit of a setback to a certain extent.

Whilst we are happy to welcome so many of our Indian friends to our shores on a free-entry basis without requiring a visa, would it not be fair and proper, in the spirit of mutual friendship, that we, too, travelling to India, would be exempted of a visa?  

It really calls for reciprocation, in my opinion. May I therefore humbly appeal to the Indian government with whom we have excellent relations to follow the good example of Sri Lanka and China in waiving visa requirements for Seychellois citizens...
