Hi, my family and I will be travelling to India this month, and we are planning to stay there for more than six months. We have already booked the tickets, but our OCI application status is still showing Under process. If we do not receive our OCI documents before we leave for India, what are our other options?
I had the same doubt last week while my OCI card was in process. I traveled to India using an e-tourist visa, and I encountered no issues at immigration. However, the thing is, once you obtain an OCI card, it becomes much more convenient. You can travel to India at any time without worrying about applying for a visa each time.
Does anyone know about the processing time for an OCI card? I have my tickets booked for India, and I need to leave in the next 3 weeks. My OCI card status has been showing "Under Process" for almost 5 weeks now. Does anyone know what to do now? Should I wait for my OCI card, or should I apply for a visa and travel?
I was considering applying for an OCI card, but I've heard that the OCI application process can take up to three months. Unfortunately, I need to travel to India next month. So, should I wait until I return from my trip to India, or should I apply for an OCI card and then travel to India?
Yes, you can travel to India while your OCI is in process. You can enter India on an e-visa, exit on an e-visa, and then return to your country to collect your OCI card. Or, you can also wait to receive the OCI first before you enter India.
Generally, you cannot travel to India with your OCI card while it is still in process because it has not yet been issued. You will have to apply for a valid visa to enter India.
