Travel Warning
India Tourist Visa
Regulations to Change
On December 9, 2009, the U.S. Embassy New Delhi released the following
Warden Message:
The U.S. Mission in India wishes to
inform U.S. citizens traveling to India that the Government of India is
reviewing its regulations pertaining to the entry of American citizens
holding long-term Indian tourist visas. To date, these new regulations
are not finalized and are being implemented inconsistently. The U.S.
Embassy and consulates throughout India have received conflicting
information regarding the new rules, but it is clear that the rules will
only affect those who wish to enter India on a tourist visa within two
months of their last departure from India. Tourists traveling to or
departing from India are urged to review travel plans in light of these
changing procedures and to contact the nearest Indian High Commission or
Foreign Registration Office to ensure they have the most current
information.
The U.S. Mission in India will follow
with updates of the new regulations as they are clarified.

India Urgent Security
Concerns
On June
2, 2009, the U.S. Embassy New Delhi released the following warden Message:
The
United States Mission in India wishes to urgently remind
all U.S. citizens resident in or traveling to India that there is a high
threat from terrorism throughout India. As terror
attacks are a serious and growing threat, U.S. citizens are urged to
always practice good security, including maintaining a heightened
situational awareness and a low profile. Americans in India should be
vigilant at all times and monitor local news reports and vary their
routes and times in carrying out daily activities.
Americans should consider the level of security present when visiting
public places, including religious sites, or choosing hotels,
restaurants, entertainment and recreation venues.

The U.S. Department of State issued
the following Travel Alert for India on December 24, 2008:
" The Department of State warns U.S.
citizens that there is a high threat of terrorism throughout India, and
advises U.S. citizens traveling to or already in India to maintain a high
level of vigilance and to take appropriate steps to increase their security
awareness, especially during the end-of-year holidays until Indias Republic
Day, January 26. This Travel Alert expires on January 31, 2009 and replaces
that issued on December 19 to provide updated information regarding the
security situation.
"The November 26 terrorist attack in
Mumbai was carried out at venues frequented by Americans. That attack
killed 170 persons (including six Americans and 16 other non-Indians) and
injured 300. Future attacks may also target public places frequented by
Westerners, including in large cities and tourist areas. In response to
perceived threats of terror attacks there, the Government of Goa has
restricted beach parties and other large outdoor gatherings from December 23
to January 5.
"The U.S. Mission is concerned that
increased political tension between Pakistan and India may further
complicate travel in areas near their already-sensitive border. In
addition, the Department of Defense has increased its security requirements
for all its employees visiting India.
"Because of the number and diversity
of terror attacks in India during the past two years, Americans in India
should be vigilant about security at all times. They should monitor local
news, vary their routes and times, and consider the level of security when
visiting public places, such as religious sites, hotels, restaurants, or
entertainment and recreation venues. U.S. citizens should keep a low
profile, avoid crowds and demonstrations, and maintain valid travel
documents. Finally, travelers should plan on added time to account for
increased security, especially at hotels and airports."

have been killed, and hundreds injured. Gunfire continues between terrorists
and police at several locations in Mumbai. Some of the casualties are

"Due to the fluid situation in Mumbai,
Americans are urged to defer travel to Mumbai for at least the next 48-72
hours. Those currently in Mumbai are asked to take shelter at their current
location and contact family and friends. American citizens in need of
assistance related to the terrorist attacks should call the Department of
State Mumbai Task Force at 1-888-407-4747 toll-free in the United States and
Canada or, for callers in other areas, by calling a regular toll line at
1-202-501-4444. All welfare and whereabouts inquiries regarding Americans
who may have been in the Mumbai area can be made by calling the above
numbers.

"Americans throughout India should be
vigilant about security at all times. The Embassy and Consulates are
actively assessing the countrywide security environment. Americans are

carrying out daily activities, and consider the level of security present
when visiting public places, including religious sites, or hotels,
restaurants, entertainment and recreation venues. If unattended packages are
spotted, American citizens should immediately exit the area and report the
packages to authorities."
For the latest security information, Americans traveling abroad should
