India to continue issuing dependent visa as family visa

The Indian government has recalled its earlier decision to cease issuing dependent visas to the families of Maldivian students studying in India, local newspaper Haveeru reports.

According to a Foreign Ministry official, a Maldivian student’s family will continue to receive the dependent visa as “family visa” until the revised visa agreement is signed by both countries.

The expired dependent visas can be renewed within two days by applying at the Maldivian consulate in Trivandrum.
