thanks for the info, according to evidence page I'll be unable to apply for either stv or non o as I'm not a permanent resident of country I'm applying from.

Goa in fairness apart from an initial strict lockdown has been business as usual. Everything open. The biggest issue is that the whole of India is visiting Goa as nobody's flying abroad. Its mental, constant traffic and chaos.
