India for good vellipotunnava? aithe OCI apply cheyy..

ledante visiting visa is okay.. 10 yrs isthadu.(each stay must not exceed 180 days). OCI card kuda anthe isthadu ...

still I don't get the point.. that if the kid is born here why they would allow OCI ?

Naturalized citizens ki aithe makes sense... coz they had indian passport before so they can be OCI eligible ..

how come kids born here and have US nationality eligible for OCI?

@tom bhayya @k2s @Spartan @Quickgun_murugan

OCI is to remove the 180 day limit of stay. on the Indian visa for other nationals.

This is more than a year old news.....

Do not apply in India......it takes min 3 months or more

Best choice to apply in USA for quick and safe

Note what u get:: OCI stamp in u r passport + a separate OCI visa (like a passport size book) with u r pic with no expiration

India doesnt allow dual citizenship. since KIDS born here to Indian parents  want to move for good, then OCI would benefit and best to have .with OCI u can stay as long as you want however with visa it allows 180 days max and ext can be applied.
