Re: Whats the need for submitting forigen passport

If you look at the last page of your OCI card, your Passport number should be written there. OCI card is also electronically linked with your passport. It is to prevent misuse. You will need to show both passport and OCI card to enter India. Thanks a ton for the clarification @takdeerwala. And also...

Hi All,

Can we apply for OCI for our new born while they are on eVISA?
If so, can we please let me know the application process.

Thanks
How many days are you planning to stay in india on eVisa ? If time is not any consideration, apply from India.

Re: Oci card for british citizen child

You cannot have two passports. Indian Law prohibits 2 passports. You cant apply for OCI while having valid passport. Approach 1 looks fine to me. Surrender Indian passport, get surrender certificate and then apply for OCI card.

No need to inform as nobody is asking your new address. Your old address was correct at the time you applied for OCI card. Travel with no tension.

Re: OCI Renewal for 2 kids

1) I will advise to carry Original Marriage Certificate and Original Birth Certificate also just in case along with copies.
2) Number of envelopes need to be made sure. One application requires two Special Delivery envelopes. If these are two separate applications, then 4 Special Delivery Royal Mail.

Yes. In future, if he wants, he can take Indian Citienship. If he holds OCI card for 5 years and live in India even for 1 year, he is eligible for indian citizenship.

Re: Using UK passport to freely travel in EU

Nothing is confirmed as of now. Probably an Online form and a small fees (10 Euros) will give prior authorization before entering EU. Similar to what British Passport holders need to do before going to USA, Canada. ESTA for travel. For any long term stay, visa might be required.

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...

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.
