Re: Surrendring Indian passport

Oh now I get it. Its great that Indian High Commission agreed to their mistake and are now putting Name after marriage on Surrender Certificate instead of Maiden Name. This is the name in British Passport, Citizenship certificate too. I dont see any problem in keeping fathers name also in the certif...

Re: Surrendring Indian passport

It should be Surname or Last name mentioned in the Passport as well as citizenship certificate. You can call it Maidens name or Father's name ( few states in India has this system of father name as surname/Last name). Keep it like this only, changing will unnecessarily complicate and delay things. Y...

Re: Visa on Old passort to travel to India

Get a new Passport. Carry both old passport (which has Indian Visa) and New Passport with you. Old passport gets cancelled but Visa is still valid. There is no requirement to transfer, just carry both the passports with you.

Re: Eligibility for OCI based on descent

Thank you for your response. I think I agree with you about the lack of eligibility after doing some more research. I will find out the exact dates they left India. Still I would say there is hope. The government has messed up the eligibility criteria by mixing PIO and OCI Cards. This is from India...

Re: Surrender Indian passport in India and apply for OCI in India

Why dont you surrender it here only? 8-9 days. You get British Passport, travel to India on British passport with Indian visa, take surrender cetificate with you and get OCI work done in India.
It is better to spend some weeks here instead of hassles/delay in India.

Re: Eligibility for OCI based on descent

There are success stories of Australian Anglo indian origin citizens opting for OCI cards as their migration happened in 1950s. Also Gujarati migrants from Kenya Uganda. But dates are the key.

For surrender of passport I provided 100gm For first time return of documents ( 99% of time it's your surrender certificate only) so again 100gm is fine. For second time when you submit your passport, depending on weight of passports and OCI booklet I suggest 100gm again. For Surrender Certificate,...

Re: Property and Citizenship

Apply for OCI card and Surrender of Indian Citizenship after becoming British Citizen. As per OCI cardholder rules, you are eligible to live lifelong in India and also maintain inherit properties. There are some restrictions in purchase of agricultural lands though.

1 A4 Special Delivery envelope for Surrender of Indian passport application. For OCI application 2 but that is a different procedure.
1 for Surrender application. Nowhere on their VFS website they are saying that you need 2 envelopes.
