Hundreds of British citizens forced to cancel India trip due to visa delays

Several British citizens wishing to visit India have been forced to postpone or cancel their travels after visa agents in the country were notified that they could no longer apply for a tourist visa on behalf of the applicant, reports ndtv.com

This means that the applicant must now appear in person at the UK visa centres. The tow hitch, right? There are no appointments available before their flights depart.

There has been an increasing backlog for Indian visas in recent months as applicants complain about a shortage of available appointments and long processing times.
