India’s “visa on arrival” scheme has proven popular, with 1,793 visas issued in the first three months of a 12-month pilot program, according to The Economic Times. Intended to increase tourism, the program allows citizens of Singapore, Finland, New Zealand, Japan and Luxembourg to obtain a tourist visa upon arrival in India instead of securing the visa beforehand. More than half of the visas were obtained by tourists arriving at the Delhi airport. So far, Singapore nationals have been issued the largest number of visas (642) under the program.
