• There should be a gap of at least two months between two visits to India on a multi-entry tourist visa.
• Foreigners holding Tourist Visas, who after initial entry into India plan to visit another country largely on account of neighbourhood tourism related travel and re-enter India before finally exiting, may be permitted two or three entries, as the case may be (need based), by the Indian Missions/Posts subject to their submission of a detailed itinerary and supporting documentation (ticket bookings). If they are already outside of the­ir country of origin, they can also get such an endorsement from the nearest Indian Mission/Post.
• In other cases, re-entry within the stipulated gap of two months may be permitted only in emergent situations like death/serious illness in the family, non-availability of connecting flights to return to his/her country of origin or travel to another country or any other exigent situation which can be duly justified with proper documentation to the satisfaction of the Mission/ Post granting the permission.
• Indian Immigration authorities in all the Immigration Check Posts are permitted to allow such Foreign Nationals on Tourist Visas arriving in India without the specific authorization from the Indian Missions/ Posts to make two or three entries into the country (need based) subject to production of an itinerary and supporting documentation (ticket bookings).
