Requirement is that you should be a resident of UK. My wife was in a similar situation before she got her PR. She was able to get travel insurance to travel in Europe. You need a UK address and hence the 'residency' requirement. Can't comment on the 2nd one as I had my UK Passport when I went with m...
My worry is that if they take more time for verification , as i am in tight schedule. It will take time if you change your permanent address details on your passport from one Indian address to another. If you change it to a UK address and carry the docs sushdmehta mentioned in his post, then it wil...
The process is that you reach VFS, tell them what you are there for, based on which they give you a token (each category has a different token series). You wait for your token number to be called out, so if there is less of a queue in your category then you get to the counter early. At the counter i...

As a point of interest, does anyone know why India does not allow dual citizenship? I appreciate that its every country's sovereign right, etc, etc., but what are the actual negatives re. allowing dual citizenship? I shall soon be applying for an OCI too, and wish that dual citizenship was allowed....
Well if you think that your application is simple, straight-forward and you understand all the risks and implications, then self-apply is the best option. However if there are complications and factors that might affect your application result and you are not confident as to how these factors might ...
I honestly think that India should just allow dual citizenship. The distinction between OCI and PIO is quite confusing in many instances. I too think they might merge it into just one class of visa, but then again it might be a long wait before that happens.
Follow the guidance on the HCI website, which clearly states 2 photographs. Photographs: Two photographs [51x51mm, (WITH 80% COVERAGE BY FACE) should be pasted in the application form.

I do not think you should have any problems with getting the life-long visa stamp. If you qualify for it, you get it. Having another category visa does not affect it.

2. Anything other than the above documents needed? That is pretty much it. 3. Do I need to submit any original documents ? No, but carry them with you when you go to HCI.

Further to Casa's advice above, get in touch with your landlord to get more details. Also get in touch with the debt management company as soon as they send you a letter to clear your debts. The company might send a letter to your landlord if you have not provided a forwarding address, hence its bet...
Somehow I am not surprised that VFS 'suggested' you to put 'No' to a question, which should have another option for people who have travelled to India on another passport. For example, if I were a citizen of a country which does not allow dual citizenship like India and had become a naturalised Brit...
