ir,
I have the honour to draw the attention of the Hon’ble the
oiltleal Resident to a visa which has been given on an American
assport Ho 16, for Miss Rexqatth, ^ the Passport )ffieer to the
overnment of Bombay* The number of the visa is 15998 and the fee
as received on the 5th January 1931 but the Government stamp is
ated 2nd January 1931*
• The visajla surprisingly worded as follows
* Good for one or more direct journeys through
Egypt within one year (provided that the passport
is so long valid, undertaken for the sole purpose
of reaching Persia 11 .
The lady obviously could not reach Persia by a direct journey
irough Egypt and as a matter of fact she has no intention whatever
? going to Persia#
She sent me her passport on arrival at Bahrein as it had a
Lmilar visa Ho 15999 for f Ira<i of the same date, a visa for a
Lirect journey for the sole purpose of reaching Persia", sinoe she
»are& that difficulties would be raised when it was found she was
>t going to Persia* I have given her a transit visa for *Ira^ and
ive advised her to obtain a normal visa for Egypt in Baghdad.
> Further I notice on her passport a gratis visa given by the
>rsian Consul at Bombay for "Bahrein,Iran"* This I am cancelling,
i the statement cannot be allowed to pass, and also as the Persian
msul has no business whatever to give visas any kind for
ihrein*
* I understand, on enquiry, that these visas were obtained for
ie lady by the American Express and that the supposed Persian visa
is obtained because she might wish to go ashore at some Persian
ilf ports* Actually she has no Persian visa and consequently
wnot land in Persia but only this irregular visa I have mentioned
>ove for "Bahrein,Persia", for whioh no fee was charged*
I have the honour to be.
Sir,
Your most obedient servant.
(Signed) o.0.Prior.
