India: Travel Advisory for Visas Issued by China to Indians from Certain Regions

The Times of India reports that India has issued a travel advisory in response to the Chinese embassy’s practice of stapling paper visas to passports of individuals from Jammu, Kashmir and Arunachal Pradesh. Indian officials have declared these visas invalid because they do not conform to the usual practice of pasting visas to passports. The advisory reminds Indians traveling to China to ensure that the visas are pasted onto their passports.
