Which Indian visa category has been renamed the Visitor Visa?

  1. A.Business Visa
  2. B.Tourist Visa
  3. C.Medical Visa
  4. D.Miscellaneous Visa

Correct answer

B. Tourist Visa

Explanation

The correct answer is Tourist Visa. The erstwhile Tourist Visa is now called the Visitor Visa, a change made because the category permits a far wider set of purposes than conventional tourism. It is split into V-1 and V-2. V-1 is granted for 30 days with multiple entries and covers business meetings, medical consultations, wellness retreats, short-duration treatment and short courses in Indian languages, music, art and craft. V-2 is meant for longer visits with validity of 1, 5 or 10 years and additionally covers mountaineering, for which a six-month multiple-entry visa is granted. Option A is wrong because the Business Visa kept its name and was split into B-1 and B-2. Option C is wrong because the Medical Visa also kept its name, with M-1 and M-3 for treatment and M-2 and M-4 for attendants. Option D is wrong because the Miscellaneous Visa is a separate residual category covering persons of Indian origin and other specified purposes.
