Hello I am in same situation. Can you please guide me as to if I can surrender and apply for visa at same time .
You will need 2 photos, one each. Either way is fine, they also click photos though I don't know how much they charge. I got the photos from Walmart for $14.99.When applying for surrender and entry visa together, how many photographs do we need? Is it a good idea to get photographs done beforehand or should we use BLS photo service?
Processing time seems to be same for tourist visa and entry visa according to BLS site. Someone who visited in person recently, can you please confirm it?
Thanks for help.
Is COPR required? And what is approximate time for entry visa processing?I submitted mine today and they say that Entry visa is faster.
No COPR is not required. They said we will get visa in 7-8 days.Is COPR required? And what is approximate time for entry visa processing?
Appointment or walk-in?
Thanks.
I think you'll get a better answer if you ask someone that applied for visa/surrender recently. Yes, I've heard that they don't accept OCI/Surrender together but I do not know about visa + surrender. Also, I think if you're applying by mail, you might be able to apply for both in one shot (I vaguely remember someone saying this, but not sure).@rajkamalmohanram
I hope you are doing well.
I have heard from an acquaintance that starting January 2022, BLS/cgi Toronto has stopped accepting both entry visa and Indian passport surrender as part of one application package. Would you know if this is true?
Also, have you come across a scenario where entry visa and Indian passport surrender were processed via postal application if so what could be the procedure. Thanks in advance!
I tried contacting bls over last two days with no luck. Looking for a right direction on forum.
Can someone answer on this pleaseI have travel plan to India on 14th December and I recently received my Canadian passport. I plan to apply for entry visa and when in was filling the application there is one section previous visa details and in that there is question have you ever travelled to India and select type of visa if I press yes to travelled to India but there is no option of Indian passport there? Should I select no to previous visa details section? Can any one please help on providing this information?
and what are list of documents which needs to be provided to bls for entry visa application?
