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
