Why India Resumes Tourist Visa for Chinese?
China – In a significant move, India has resumed issuing tourist visas to Chinese citizens. This facility has been restored with immediate effect through Indian embassies and consulates around the world. According to the Hindustan Times, this decision comes after a nearly four-year suspension and is being seen as a significant step towards normalizing relations between the two countries following border tensions.
Tourist visa services for Chinese citizens were suspended in April-May 2020 following the military standoff along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in eastern Ladakh. In particular, bilateral relations reached a new low following the violent clash in the Galwan Valley, which left 20 Indian and at least four Chinese soldiers dead.
According to government sources, Indian missions worldwide have begun accepting tourist visa applications for Chinese passport holders this week, although the government has yet to make any official announcement. Military confrontation between India and China erupted along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in April-May 2020. This was followed by a violent clash in the Galwan Valley in June, in which 20 Indian soldiers were martyred, while several Chinese soldiers were also killed.
Following this development, India suspended all tourist visas for Chinese citizens. Four months ago, in July 2025, India partially reinstated tourist visas for Chinese citizens for the first time through its embassies in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Hong Kong. This facility has now been extended worldwide. India and China agreed to disengage troops deployed at the front lines along the LAC in October 2024.
This was followed by a meeting between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping in Kazan, Russia, where the two leaders agreed to revive several mechanisms to normalise relations. India’s reopening of worldwide tourist visas for Chinese citizens signals that the two countries are taking concrete steps toward improving relations, putting behind long-standing tensions. However, the border dispute remains unresolved.
