    You can go to your nearest FRRO to extend your visa. That would be the correct approach than entering and exiting India using different documents.

The big challenge is getting there by 6 AM and the weather especially...

    This is great news. Finally someone saw the light. This change is just going to increase volume at BLS. Not sure if they have any operations folks at BLS- why would they want to increase what should be 1 visit into two. Unless it was a scheme to extract more fees from us in some way In fact...
