Hi we do not know why the Indian government have made such a change to the old 6 month multi entry visa which seemed to suit everyone, but it looks to me that They no longer want the long term British visitors we have been visiting India for the past 11 years on a long term basis which we can no longer do, they try to say it's because the ooo beleve any Brits were involved, but strangely the Russians can still get a 6 month visa.. We are disgusted with the ever more curupt Indian government
