Now the visa to India is issued only for 50 days. Can I extend it without leaving the country? How many times can I do this?

Responds Elena Ivannikova, deputy head of the India department of the Russian Express company, $
Due to the fact that the number of our tourists staying in India illegally or indefinitely, prolonging the visa, is growing, now it is possible to extend the visa in India only in case of emergency - illness, hospitalization, unfortunate or unforeseen event. In other cases, the visa is not extended.

Moreover, the Visa Center informed us last season that the tourist can reopen the visa only after a lapse of at least a month after the last visit to the country.
