New Delhi: If you are planning to go on a vacation abroad, check your passports. The International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), which India is part of, has announced that non-machine readable (handwritten) passports will not be deemed valid after November 24, 2015.
The countries under ICAO will not issue visa to persons holding passports that are handwritten or valid for 20 years.
The rule will be implemented from November 25, 2015, reports thelogicalindian.com.
