New India Visa Rules, Our Re-Entry
Welcome to part 3 of our update on the new India Tourist Visa rules. Way back in December we heard about the new rule while reading the India Times. How did we do? We had been out of India for 31 days while visiting Sri Lanka. We knew all about the visa problems and were prepared to not be allowed back into India. It was 3:00 am.

Or we could end up like Tom Hanks in the Terminal and stuck living in the Delhi Airport without visa or country.
How do you spell relief? P-A-SS-P-O-R-T
We have our passports back in our hands, but I have to tell you about the crazy week that we have had to get them… Monday….. It all started on Monday when we phoned the Ethiopian Embassy to make sure that our passports had been sent. They told us the Friday before that they were [...]
