Coronavirus Travel Restrictions

While some countries have eased their restrictions and are welcoming back tourists with a Covid-19 negative certificate and mandatory health insurance, such as Dubai, Maldives, Mauritius, Kenya, Tanzania, and Sri Lanka, there are others that still don’t have India on their list.

In a recent move, India has started air bubbles with US, UK, Germany, France and the UAE and Indian residents with any kind of valid visa can travel to these destinations and foreigners can also visit India for business, work and leisure keeping in mind all the government rules for inbound passengers.

Even within India, a number of states are welcoming tourists, such as Uttarakhand, Goa, Himachal Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and Jammu and Kashmir.
