How Can NRIs Apply for a PAN Card From Abroad?

If you are an NRI and you wish to undertake any economic activity that involves income tax payment or filing tax returns in India, like investing in securities, buying a property, or even operating a bank account, for all these activities, you will need a PAN card. Having a PAN card will simplify a lot of processes, and an NRI can even opt for an e-PAN, which is basically a signed PAN card that will be sent to you via e-mail and is valid as a physical PAN card only.

Although it is not mandatory for an NRI to have a PAN card for every activity, it is important to conduct several financial transactions in India. The entire process is mostly online and can be completed easily with proper prepration.

Well, you can apply for a PAN card either online or offline, which completely depends on you. However, I would suggest consulting an expert for this because the application process may be a little time-consuming. I know about Visament, you should try contacting them once, and I know they will provide you with a hassle-free process and help you in getting your PAN card easily. I am so sure about them because one of my friends was also facing the same situation, and he consulted Visament, who helped him get his PAN card easily, even when he was abroad.

Applying for a PAN card as an NRI is not as hard as it seems to be. You can easily apply via the NSDL or UTIITSL portal by submitting the required documents like your address proof, identity proof, date of birth, recent photograph, and any other supporting documents. The application can be submitted online, and the PAN card will be delivered to the specified address.

Last year, I applied for a PAN card through the UTIITSL website. The process was quite straightforward as I was guided by my friend. I filled out the 49A form and made sure to submit everything required. The process didn't seem stressful because I was prepared nicely, and I got my PAN card within 15 days.
