Islamabad, Jan.31 (ANI): The High Commission of India in Pakistan reportedly answered queries of Pakistani business professionals, regarding procurement of business visa to India, during a workshop aimed at improving bilateral trade ties.
The workshop on "Business visa facilitation for bilateral trade promotion" was intended to promote interaction, trade and exchanges between India and Pakistan.
India's Deputy High Commissioner to Pakistan Gopal Baglay said that this is the first outreach activity by the Indian High Commission to provide information about getting business visas under the new visa regime, the Express Tribune reported.
Bona-fide Pakistani people with an annual income of 5 million rupees or more will be entitled to one-year multiple-entry business visa for visiting up to 10 Indian cities and the benefit of exemption from police reporting, provided they comply by the criteria set down in the visa regulations.
Following the induction of the new visa regime that eased travel restrictions a year back, not many people were aware of it.
Meanwhile, in an attempt to make the participants understand the process, the Indian officials also gave a demonstration of filing an online visa application form. (ANI)
