Yes, you can apply for an OCI card while being on a visitor visa. However, applying from your own country for the card is quite simple. I know that when you apply for a card in India, you need to provide complete details of your Aadhaar card, proof of having a gas connection/surrendering your ration card, and more, which is daunting for a visitor. If you apply from your country of citizenship, you do not need to answer any such questions.
