Hi All,
Firstly apologies if this is not the correct section as i am not entirely sure where should i be putting this query.
Background:
Got British passport in Nov 2021 via 10 year route.
Wife and kid still on Indian passport and having FLR visa. Second renewal due in March 2024 (i.e. for 5 yrs).
I was recently told that after renouncing my indian passport the minor passport also gets renanciated based on (Indian Citizenship Act, 1955). I was not aware of this clause and it seems that the govt is highlighting this clause during OCI application. Not sure if this was made evident during earlier OCI process.
I went through some other post highlighting this rule which dates back but there was no concrete answers for the same.
So my query is
1. Is my child who currently holds an indian passport stateless ?
2. Can i travel with him using indian passport ? Will there be any issues during the travel ?
3. If by any chance he is stateless which route should i take during renewal (should i apply for FLR or Stateless application for him)?
Is anyone in similar situation or faced this issue ?
Kind Regards,
Shiney
Hi
I have been reading your post and wanted to enquire whether you were able to renew your child's Indian passport. If so, which VFS did you apply to?
If not, were you able to renew your child's FLR visa without a valid passport?
Did you apply for the stateless application for your child?
My kids passport expires in October and FLR visa renewal is due at end of the year. So, any guidance or suggestions welcome.
Thanks
Siva
