Nagaland Seeks Year-round PAP Exemption for Foreign Visitors, Sends Letter to Amit Shah

Nagaland's tourism board has highlighted the need for a streamlined entry process for foreign visitors. The state is seeking a year‑long exemption from the Foreigners (Entry and Stay) Act, which currently allows such relief only during certain periods. Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio has formally addressed the request to Prime Minister Amit Shah in a written letter. The proposal aims to boost tourism and simplify travel for international tourists visiting Nagaland.
