New Delhi : The British High Commission here Wednesday clarified that no decision has been taken to revise the period of tourist visas or to introduce bonds for visit of relatives.
On Tuesday, the Home Office revealed a number of proposals which related to short-term visits of students, tourists, sponsored family visitors and business travellers.
A press release issued by the British High Commission here noted that “contrary to recent speculation, no decisions have yet been taken on whether or not to introduce a bond or to shorten the length of tourist visas”.
It said the proposals were part of a “global immigration consultation exercise”.
“We are keen to hear the views of people over the next 12 weeks which we will use to help us formulate our immigration policies for the years ahead,” it said.
