NEW DELHI: Following complaints from tourists and industry, the government is likely to change the nomenclature of its e-visa scheme from the present “tourism visa on arrival enabled by electronic travel authorization’’. In travel industry jargon, ‘visa on arrival’ is synonymous with receiving a nod to enter the country once you have stepped on its shores.However the government’s online visa scheme entails at least a four-day notice period and an online application which travelers say is misleading.Responding to a query on the confusion among people regarding the nomenclature, tourism minister Mahesh Sharma agreed, “It is an issue that we are looking at. We will find a solution soon.’’Sources said the tourism ministry is planning to write to the home ministry to address this problem.Tourism industry stakeholders accuse the NDA government of misleading foreign tourists. India currently gives visa on arrival to 43 countries but, as finance minister Arun Jaitley announced in his Budget speech, the country has plans to extend the facility to 150 countries. Ironically, the countries that were given VoA till November must also now apply under the e-visa scheme.Unlike say countries like Thailand, which allow tourists to land without prior notice, India requires tourists to apply online for an electronic travel authorisation, on the basis of which visa is granted on arrival.“We have taken this up with the government. It is only an e-visa in its current form and the government needs to ensure a parallel facility of giving visa to those arriving unannounced to call it a visa on arrival,'' said Subhash Goyal, president of the Indian Association of Tour Operators
