Thank you!

Hello. I am in the process of preparing my application too. I moved into filling out Part B and the online application is asking for several documents to upload - I am not sure about a few docs to be uploaded there. If you have now completed Part B, do you know what docs are necessary for upload...

Hey buddy! Did you submit your OCI application and were you able to figure out what documents from the above you had to upload? I'm not sure about Relationship certificate too.

Hey bud, did you ever get a response to this question? I'm wondering what documents we now need, so please let me know if you have an understanding as to what docs are needed from that list.

Hey everyone - online submission of the OCI application states that we need "Joint Declaration of Subsisting of Marriage" as a document for the application. Also, it asks for a "Relationship Certificate" Parents' previous and current Passport? Are all these really necessary? OR do we just...

Hi all, On the surrender certificate application, I see that they ask for "Present Residential Address of the Applicant". Since most of us are outside India, what address are we expected to put down there? There is no option to select a Canadian province in the section.

So my application was apparently incorrect so they sent me back. I’m refilling it out and will go back. I forgot to ask them if I had to bring a paid courier package with me? It’s not specified anywhere so wondering how and when they’ll ship the passport back? thanks!

So in the application, they ask for Passport Details. First you enter all Indian passport details (like shown in the sample). Next they ask if we have another valid passport/identity? The sample form says we should enter details of the other passport (in my case Canadian passport) if we hold...

OK great! Thanks for the info! I have already filled out all the paper work for Tourist visa, so I'll go ahead this time. My appointment is on Saturday this weekend. Is there any downfall in applying for tourist visa? I know our entries are limited and takes about 3 weeks, but I'm planning to...

Thank you! I am not applying for an entry visa because I don't have a surrender certificate yet. I haven't surrendered my passport yet, so want to travel soon in the next few weeks. Once I'm back, I'll apply to surrender and get my OCI.

Hello! I am in the process of applying for my tourist visa and am unsure what to say for "Previous Visa/Currently Valid Visa Details". This question comes into play when I check on "Yes" for "Have you visited India before?" I've always lived in India until 8 years ago and travelled on my Indian...

Thank you for all the info! I will reach out to you here, if necessary. Take care.

Appreciate your understanding! Would you mind sharing your contact with me or are you available anytime on this forum in case I wanted to reach our for any questions? And how long before your trip did you apply?

Thank you for the quick response, really, it means a lot as I was looking for some answers quickly for some personal reasons. I am OK with just a one month visa but have you heard if people have gotten more? And I'm assuming this can be done via mail too? We don't have to go there for an...

Ok great. How long is the tourist visa valid for (like 5 years? 1 year?) Can you stay more than 30 days at a time on a tourist visa? Have you travelled already on the tourist visa?

This is awesome news! Thank you very much for the quick reply. I am travelling in more than 3 weeks, however, I wanted to get some details on how quickly they process our visa applications. What is the process for tourist visa? If e visa was available for Canadian citizens, that would've been...

Thins is great news! Thank you for the update. I am in the same boat, and wanted to travel in the next few weeks to India so glad to know this works. IF you see this, can you also please let me know if you've travelled and how long it took for you to get your tourist visa?

Yes, received two weeks ago. That is 3 weeks after my citizenship ceremony.

On that note, you had mentioned earlier that you were asked for your wife's passport copies when your application was returned to you. There is no mention of anything relating to spouse's details on the checklist! Or am I missing something?

Awesome! Thank you very much.
