On March 27, 2025, the Immigration and Foreigners Bill, 2025, was passed in the Lok Sabha. This is a new law aimed at regulating the entry, stay, and departure of foreigners in India.
Union Home Minister, during the debate on the bill, emphatically stated that the government was ready to welcome those who wished to come to India for purposes of tourism, education, healthcare and business, but stressed that the nation is not a “dharamshala” (a travelling inn).
