We are set to fly to India from San Francisco in less than a week. With what is in the news for Omicron, we’re really nervous with all the travel restrictions and cases on the rise. Anyone also traveling to India? Anything we should know? Are we better off postponing?

I’ve already had COVID once so I think all this just fuels my anxiety around COVID.

When a travel ban for certain countries is enacted isn’t there an exception for citizens trying to come back?

Honestly no one really knows what the Biden administration will decide regarding travel bans. However I was away from the states for a week (should have been 3 weeks) and returned earlier this week due to fear of the borders being closed in the coming weeks. So it’ll be up to you to weigh the Pros and Cons of traveling.

If you are a US citizen, you’ll be able to get back in by the US, but what if India has a lockdown again? The lockdowns there are strict. You’re not allowed to leave your home/building. Their PM Modi is unpredictable. I’d worry more about the rules that country imposes.

I had an India trip planned from 12/10-12/29 and just postponed yesterday - family friends recently traveled from India to USA over Thanksgiving and tested positive 2 days after arriving (their 2 children + a roommate also tested positive afterwards, all fully vaxxed). This is entirely anecdotal but prompted us to reconsider since I can’t afford to get stuck there if I contract covid (and deal with all the stress even if I don’t), but YMMV

Question on UK visa-
My partner will be traveling often to London, once a month for an year starting September. He is getting his visa through work (10 years, multiple entry, 6 months max stay, cost some $1000).

I have applied for standard tourist visa in the past and they are usually short term. It could be max 6 months, but they see your itinerary and allocate you few months around the itinerary

Is there a way to get 6 months multiple entry visa, if I were to join him once in a while.
