The 9th India-South Africa Ministerial conference held in Durban, South Africa early this week saw both countries reaffirming their interest in introducing a special business travel card for BRICS nations. This will enable granting of multiple-entry long term business visa to all the five member countries.
The BRICS Business Travel Card is aimed at providing multiple-entry visas for five-years. The idea of a business travel card was initially introduced during the 5th BRICS Summit in Durban, in 2013.
