Highlighting the frequent travel patterns of Indian citizens, Deputy Foreign Minister Tien Chung-kwang stated, “…Indian citizens travel a lot…We are considering this (visa-on-arrival). We are in discussions with the Immigration Department. The decision cannot be made unilaterally by the Government; internal deliberations are necessary.
