India is set to make travel significantly easier for Russian visitors with the introduction of a free 30-day e-tourist visa, which is expected to encourage more Russian travellers to visit India, reducing both cost and paperwork and a free 30-day group tourist visa, making it easier for travel agents and tour operators to bring Russian groups to India. The initiative is part of a broader effort to expand tourism and cultural engagement between the two countries at a time when Russia is seeking new travel partners, and India is diversifying inbound tourism markets.
