There is no change in visa policy for people travelling to India, the Maldives’ Ministry of Foreign Affairs has said.
Those heading to India for tourism, medical or family purposes do not need a visa if they intend to stay less than 90 days, according to India’s embassy in Male.
Wednesday’s foreign ministry tweet said the embassy had confirmed there was no change in visa policy for purposes “other than tourism” following reports of visa suspensions for Maldivians.
It is not clear what reports were being referred to in the tweet.
