Can I apply for OCI at any time?

Post by rubyracer2 » Sun May 28, 2023 11:47 am

Dear Gurus,

I am an Indian citizen who has naturalised as British recently. As per the law I am planning to surrender my passport within the deadline of 3 months.

I also got an etourist visa for India for 5 years which was approved within a day. So my travel to India is now sorted.

My question is is there a time limit to apply for OCI ? Can I apply for it if I actually plan to return to India in the future and use my e-visa to travel till then. This may be years away

In the meantime is there a disadvantage of not holding OCI, e.g. in inheriting property? Please advice, thanks in advance
