Sorry that is incorrect. It says "Either parents" needs to be British. Either means one or another.vij_sp_1980 wrote:I think NO.

Once you become British you have lost your Indian Citizenship. the sooner you surrender your Indian passport the better.

You are eligible to apply for OCI following your Naturalization. In the OCI process the life long multiple entry visa is stamped on the foreign passport along with the OCI booklet. Hence it is imperative that you have foreign passport when you apply for OCI. Though from the British nationality perspective you are British Citizen the moment you get Naturalization certificate and passport is optional, from OCI processing perspective you are expected to have foreign passport.ric1982 wrote: But can I apply for OCI without British Passport?

So in a nutshell I have not heard anyone having OCI without British passport.
Any particular reason you are not applying for British passport?
consider visitor visa/ PIO for child if you need to make immediate travel. Also remember about grace period of travel on Indian passport.ric1982 wrote: I wish to apply for kid's OCI as soon as.
