In a surprise move, Hong Kong has withdrawn the no travel visa policy for Indians from January next year.
Now, Indian tourists will have to pre-register to enter the SAR (Special Administrative Regions) of China. So far, for a 15-day stay, there were no formalities as the SAR allowed to land in Hong Kong without any visa formalities.
It was learned that the step may have been taken as the no visa facility may have been abused by some.
Hong Kong huet eng aktiv touristesch Representatioun an Indien Tourismus zu der populär Destinatioun ze förderen, déi Akten och als Schrëtt fir Rees zu Macau. An enger anerer Entwécklung huet Thailand Reesen vun Indianer e bësse méi bëlleg gemaach andeems d'Visagebühr bei der Landung reduzéiert gëtt.
It is to be seen in days to come if these two developments will lessen travel by Indians to Hong Kong and to Thailand.
