oci renewal documents

Post by goldenstarnice » Sun Jan 31, 2021 2:46 pm

I've to renew oci(got new passport) for my kids and need some clarifications

What are the documents required for OCI renewal

1) old passport
2) New passport
3) OCI pages
4) Parents Marriage certificate
5) Parents Passport

is that enough for renewal

After submitting the oci renewal online and uploaded all forms, what original documents do we have to send to them?

Many Thanks

Hello - Not sure if this helps but below is some information on this topic. I have read quite a few posts wherein renewal of oci has been referred to as mandatory however it does not tie up to the official source of information provider. Currently, there is relaxation on OCI renewal until 30th June 2021, hope this helps.

The official Bureau of Immigration (BOI) site mentions that as long as you carry your old passport(s) having the Lifelong 'U' visa sticker alongwith the OCI booklet, entry is allowed. Please find details here https://boi.gov.in/content/visa-requirement

Here is the detail from the site -
Overseas Citizen Of India (OCI) :-
Passengers who are carrying old cancelled passports having Life Long Indian "U" Visa Sticker affixed on it along with new passport are allowed entry into India.
Even if the OCI card holder acquires nationality of a different country, except that of Pakistan and Bangladesh, he/she is also allowed entry into India provided he/she is carrying his/her old passport having Life Long Indian "U" Visa sticker pasted on it along with the new passport of the recently acquired nationality.

https://www.hcilondon.gov.in/page/recen ... rs-on-oci/ >>https://www.hcilondon.gov.in/docs/16105196161.pdf which is from the High Commission of London mentions of relaxation of OCI renewal until 30th June 2021.

Appreciate if you can share any information from anyone who has recently travelled that contradicts to the above.
