Kerala’s 3rd VoA facility at Kozhikode

The Government of Kerala will soon introduce tourist visa-on-arrival (VoA) at Kozhikode, the third airport in the State to offer the facility.

Thiruvananthapuram and Kochi are among the nine where tourists from 43 destinations can get their visas enabled with electronic travel authorisation. It is currently the only State to have two international airports enabled under the scheme. Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Goa are the other airports where the service is offered.

Kerala Tourism targets 30 lakh tourist arrivals by 2021 and has been pitching the visa-on-arrival facility through promotional campaigns worldwide. “Some of our key markets such as Germany, Australia, Japan, Russia, the US and the UAE are also on the list, which will be a great boost to tourism,” said A. P. Anil Kumar, Minister for Tourism, Kerala.
