國際英語資訊:Myanmar nationals start to enjoy visa exemption for visiting India
YANGON, Sept. 29 -- Myanmar nationals have started to enjoy visa exemption for visiting India which has been effective since Monday, the local voice Daily reported Friday quoting a Bodh Gaya pilgrimage working committee.
The visa exemption was notified by the Indian Embassy to Myanmar to the committee and the notifications were distributed to all pilgrimage agencies, said the committee's vice chairman U Khin Maung Myint.
The exemption came after Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Myanmar earlier this month during which India offered to give Myanmar nationals gratis visa in all categories except e-visa.
According to statistics in 2024, about 30,000 Myanmar nationals visited India's pilgrimage sites especially Bodh Gaya which is a religious site and a place of pilgrimage associated with the Mahabodhi Temple Complex in Gaya district in the Indian state of Bihar.
