Indian Visa & Card

Indian Visa & Card

The Overseas Citizenship of India (OCI) card is a long-term immigration status granted to eligible individuals of Indian origin who hold foreign citizenship. This card allows holders to live, work, and travel in India without any time restrictions, while retaining their current nationality. The OCI program was introduced by the Government of India to help people of Indian descent maintain a strong connection with India.
Eligibility for an OCI card extends to former Indian citizens, individuals who were eligible for Indian citizenship at the time of the Constitution’s commencement, and those whose parents, grandparents, or great-grandparents were Indian citizens. Children of Indian citizens and foreign spouses of Indian citizens or OCI cardholders (subject to marriage duration requirements) may also qualify. However, applicants with current or previous citizenship ties to Pakistan or Bangladesh, or those with certain military or security backgrounds, are not eligible.
OCI cardholders enjoy multiple benefits, including unlimited entry into India, the right to live and work without registration, and access to employment opportunities across various professional sectors. The OCI card is an ideal option for individuals seeking long-term flexibility and a meaningful connection to India without renouncing their foreign citizenship.
