During his near hour-long speech, the PM also announced to extend lifelong Visa for PIO card holders. Soon, the PIO and OCI schemes will be merged and the respective card holders will be granted a visa for life.

Initially, India introduced the tourist VOA facility for the citizens of only five countries, but now, the citizens of almost eleven nations can avail the scheme benefits. These countries are- Finland, Japan, Luxembourg, New Zealand, Singapore, Cambodia, Vietnam, Philippines, Laos, Myanmar, Indonesia and South Korea.
