India’s Ministry of External Affairs issued an advisory urging foreign nationals stuck in the country due to Gulf flight cancellations to contact the nearest Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO) for visa extensions and stay regularization.
Advisory Details
Triggered by US-Israel strikes on Iran, Khamenei’s death, and Iranian retaliation damaging Dubai Airport, over 700 regional flights were cancelled, stranding travelers as UAE, Qatar, and others closed airspace. FRROs will assist with formalities; contact details available at boi.gov.in.
Regional Context
This follows PV Sindhu’s stranding in Dubai and broader disruptions tying into UNSC debates, oil shocks, and Oman’s neutrality amid the crisis.
