This was my confusion. I am currently living in the UAE and have been here for more than 20 years. I tend to visit India every year but the duration of each visit never exceeds 2 months. The immigration website clearly states that the system wouldn't ask for one if we haven't stayed in one particular country for more than six months in a row in the last ten years. However, there is a possibility that an immigration officer might ask for one after the application has been submitted. In such situations, is it okay if we get one from India rather than going through the embassy?

Only through embassy if you are an NRI
