Hi there, the 3 months grace period is from the date of your naturalisation n not the passport. Secondly I do not think it would be advisable to surrender your passport or apply for OCI in India. There are a few threads on the forum regarding that if I remember correctly. Best to apply for an Indian...

Do not worry at all. You will get it soon. There are some people even waiting since Oct.
It all depends on the casr worker get and your circumstances. So, my advice
Stay calm and relaxed and try not to think about it which I know easier said than done.
As far as I know, you have to apply for visa in your country of origin if you are visiting on a tourist visa.
So best check with Portugal embassy. I have heard that they are not very efficient at the Portuguese embassy but you can try.

It will be difficult to answer without knowing your circumstances. Depending on your circumstances, they might not require any other documents but I would think that they just check what you have sent them at the time they send the acknowledgment. The person who looks into your application later wil...
