Foreign nationals intending to visit India for
commissioning surrogacy will not be allowed to come on a tourist visa
from Friday with the Home Ministry ordering strict adherence of surrogacy laws.
In an order, the Home Ministry said several
instances of foreign nationals visiting India on tourist visa for commissioning
surrogacy have been reported and no such relaxation would be allowed after November
1. "This is (tourist visa) not the appropriate visa category and such
foreigners will be liable for action for violation of visa conditions. The
appropriate visa category will be a medical visa," the order said.
The Ministry said it is also necessary in such
cases to ensure that the surrogate mother is not cheated and therefore, such a
visa may only be granted if certain conditions are fulfilled. The conditions
include that the foreign man and woman are duly married and the marriage
should have sustained at least for two years.
