The citizens of Nepal and Bhutan as well as Indians entering India by land or air from the two neighbouring countries will not be required to show their passports or have a visa, as earlier, reported the PTI.

The members of the naval, military or air forces of India entering or exiting India on duty and the family members of any such person, when accompanying such a person on a government transport, will also not be required to carry a passport or visa, according to an order issued by the India's Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) following the enforcement of the Immigration and Foreigners Act, 2025, according to the PTI.

The requirement of a valid passport or other valid travel documents and a valid visa for entry into, stay in and exit from India shall not apply if "a citizen of India entering into India by land or by air over the Nepalese or Bhutanese frontier, a citizen of Nepal or Bhutan entering into India by land or air over the Nepal or Bhutan border or if he possesses a valid passport while entering or exiting India from or to a place other than Nepal or Bhutan but not from China, Macau, Hong Kong or Pakistan", the MHA said, as per the PTI.
