The airport is one of nine in the country which have been included in the list for providing the facility. The single entry tourist visa is valid for a period of 30 days.
Earlier, the Union home ministry had raised security concerns while implementing this facility wherein the tourists can apply online for the visa.
Former Union Tourism Minister Shripad Naik (presently Union Minister for Ayush) had said that Interpol’s help could be taken while scrutinizing applications of the tourists for visa in the country.
“The worry is that criminals should not enter the State taking advantage of e-visa facility,” he was quoted as saying.
