If the travel is urgent get a visa else apply for OCI
In either case Indian passport needs to be surrendered as a pre requisite.

As per rules you can apply from any country where you are a resident (or from India). You don't need to be a citizen of the country where you are applying from. However you may need to provide additional supporting documents such as proof of your residency in the country of application, legalised/ap...

Re: Entry Visa and NOT Tourist visa for visiting India

Good if this happens sooner.

I was just taking cue from the recent trends - E-Tourist visas to French, Australian and Chinese citizens were announced during PMs visits to those countries; 10 year visa to Canadian citizens was announced in Canada.

Wish we had a crystal ball.

He doesn't need travel insurance or to provide work/ financial documents etc. correct, you'll need to provide the below i) marriage certificate (if you were ma...

Re: Applying for OCI without Indian Passport or Birth Certif

I think applying as a spouse of an OCI holder would be easier than applying on his own. However include the solicitor's affidavit, school registration certificate as additional supporting info.

You can't submit on his behalf.

You'll need to provide atleast a copy of the marriage certificate. This is a material change since you applied your last passport and you'll need to provide documentation in support of that.

Re: EXIT VISA OR OCI FOR NEW BORN FRENCH NATIONAL IN INDIA

It's the otherway. Exit permit will be required anyway. I would skip the OCI part and apply later.
also note, exit permit is not a visa. It's issued only 72-48 hours before planned departure enabling exit from India.

Re: Entry Visa and NOT Tourist visa for visiting India

Though Indian e-tourist visa for UK nationals is on the cards but looking at past trends it's likely to be annouced in conjuction with Indian PM's UK visit (when? it's anybody's guess!)

Not all embassies accept booking.com reservations as you don't need to make any payment for booking through this website. So check with embassies whether they have any restriction.

There isn't any concept of dependant tourist visa.
She will need to apply as a normal tourist with standard set of documents (air ticket, accommodation, medical insurance, letter from employer, proof of finance etc).

usually the collection timing is the afternoon, and submission is in the morning...so this approach may not work..but please check the latest opening hours/time at the VFS you plan to use if there is an overlapping window.
