There aren't appointments available from the last couple of weeks. But booking it online on the BLS website is the only way out.
Indian passport surrender
- Thread starter rai786
- Start date
not sure which location you're trying for but i was able to get appointments for both passport and OCI. even now there are some passport appointments for may at the TO location. need to check couple times during the day. BLS opens up slots around mid month and end of month but they fill out very fast.
Hello, we (me and my wife) recently got our citizenship on 14th March and plan to travel to US around Early May after getting our Canadian passports. but I wont be able to surrender the indian passports for both of us before that. If I use CANADIAN Passports to travel to US and coming back, do I need to worry about any penalties when surrendering our passports? When Indian government says travelling on Indian passport, do they mean using that passport to enter US or Canada? Just trying to make sure to avoid any troubles.
Why would Indian passport come in between you travelling to US on a Canadian passport ?

Thank you for the response.
I was just trying to confirm since I dont want any trouble from guys at BLS or consulate.
I had read the link you provided before but saw this one and thats why I wanted to confirm.
| 2. | Passport not surrendered up to three years and travelled once after obtaining foreign passport. | No penalty for retention of passport but penalty of Rs. 10,000/- for travel on Indian passport | 12(1A) |
Why did you jump from point 1 to 2
You are not going to use Indian passport for your US travel.
Overthinking eh
Another question, for BLS Brampton - I dont see much appointments under passport for next couple months. Is it ok if I select Visa appointment to surrender passports?
Give it shot by booking appointment under visa for passport surrender
@2017CanadaHo! - I don't see any OCI appointmnets available. Were you able to book any for future dates ?
i honestly can't plan or even know my schedule for a month from now. so am going to go walk-in only, as i did for surr cert.
Hey - Did you receive the certificate and if yes, can you mention the date pls?
Hi Folks. I just received my canadian passport. I am traveling to India next month. I applied for Indian evisa and got it within 12 hrs. My question is whether can I surrender my indian passport in India?
