India Extends Visas, Waives Overstay Fines for Stranded Foreigners

Amid West Asia conflict and flight cancellations, India grants foreign nationals a 30-day visa extension and waives overstay penalties. Stranded travelers contact the nearest Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO) for assistance with extensions or stay regularization, showing proof of canceled bookings. The Ministry of External Affairs issues the advisory as airspace closures disrupt routes from hubs like Dubai and Doha.
