Indians over 65 and under 15 can now visit Nepal and Bhutan with Aadhaar
News
According to a Home Ministry communiqué, Aadhaar cards have been made valid travel documents for Indians under 15 and over 65 years travelling to Nepal and Bhutan
Important facts
- Indian citizens going to Nepal and Bhutan don’t need a visa if they have a valid passport, a photo identity card issued by the government of India or an election ID card issued by the Election Commission
- Earlier, persons over 65 and under 15 could show their PAN card, driving licence, Central Government Health Service (CGHS) card or ration card as identity proof but not the Aadhaar card
- It is important to note that Indians other than those under 15 and above 65years will not be able to use Aadhaar to travel to Nepal and Bhutan
