Restrictions on tourists re-entering India within 2 months of leaving - any experience?
Has anyone any experience of India's new restrictions on re-entering the country within two months of leaving it? Theoretically, this is now forbidden:
"Tourists departing India will now receive a stamp in their passports indicating that they may not re-enter India for two months, regardless of their length of stay in India prior to departure. Tourists wishing to return to India before the two month period has passed will now have to visit the Indian High Commission or Consulate in the country to which they travelled or are resident and present their case for re-entry. Only those considered to have a valid case or an emergency will receive a letter granting them re-entry."
but the British Foreign Office website says "The Authorities in all Indian Immigration Check Posts have, however, been authorised to allow tourists to make two or three entries, based on production of an itinerary and documentation (ticket bookings) substantiating the need for tourism related travel to neighbouring countries."
Does this work, and does anyone have any experience of testing this out at land borders (particularly those neighbouring Bhutan)?
All stories/advice gratefully received! Many thanks, in advance.
